Product Description

Tradition has just been updated. The Harlech, one of Castle's most respected and popular designs, has been upgraded with a high-tech facelift. The first of our Quarter Wave, twin-pipe, differentially tuned loudspeakers to benefit from this advance, the Harlech now sports new and revolutionary combination of cold pressed, woven carbon fibre 130mm bass units, formed around a new, diecast chassis, augmented by our proven and acclaimed 28mm, viscous damped, soft dome tweeter. The advantages conferred by the new drive unit combination are immediately apparent - greater clarity, a better defined sound stage, punchier bass, better transient attack; all of these have been added to Harlech's acknowledged strengths of smooth, extended high frequency reproduction, coupled with the solid, substantial bass you only get from Quarter Wave designs. The whole Harlech package has also become more flexible, more in tune with today's lifestyles. This loudspeaker is now absolutely suited to a role at the centre of a state-of-the-art home cinema/AV facility. So, as a stand-alone stereo pair, or as part of a sophisticated home entertainment package, you can't buy a better made, better sounding loudspeaker. As ever, there's a choice of six standard veneers, plus Yew as a special order luxury option.

Please note: There is a 15% surcharge for Yew finish.
