Castle Severn2s True HiFi Sound and Furniture Quality Cabinetry
Reluctantly Im selling my lovely Castle loudspeakersfinished in real Cherry Wood veneer. I bought these new in 1999 and they havenever been moved from our child-free and smoke-free home, so I can guaranteethat they are in excellent condition and full working order.
Britishmanufacturer Castledesigned and built fantastic sounding speakers that also look great in a domesticsetting. The Severn 2 was probably the mostpopular floor-standing speaker in their range, and was a What Hifi? magazinefavourite, winning their coveted BEST BUY award. They have a fantasticmidrange, good solid bass, and a coherent overall sound.
These were purchased new by me in 1999 from Bartletts HiFi in north London. Im selling reluctantly as I haveupgraded (to another pair of Castles) and I just dont have space for two pairsof floor-standing speakers.
There are some VERY feint marks on the tops but you would behard pressed to notice them, and try as I might, I just couldnt find a way toshow them in the pictures. I have more images available to draw your ownconclusions: see https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cedc5wuieev9znd/AABwoP-O4AKWk0M-eKERslTba?dl=0.The grilles too are in excellent condition and the original Castle badges arepresent on the front of the speakers. There is a little shadowing where thegrills have been left in place and shaded the fronts from sunlight.
These speakers are a 2 way design with a composite soft dometweeter and a long-carbon-fibre mid/bass unit designed and produced in-house bythe original Castle Acoustics company. The bass port is in the bottom of thecabinet and vents via a gap between the cabinet and the plinth, with the gapbeing adjustable by adding or removing spacers. This makes placing thesespeakers much easier and you don’t get the usual bass-boom effect that isassociated with other designs when positioned in room corners.

DemonstrationAs they have been packed away, gettng these out of their boxes and setting them up for a demo will take quite a lot of time, so I will provide a demonstration to serious bidders only. An offer would indicate that you are truly interested.
Collection / DeliveryThese speakers are heavy, and in their cartons, bulkytoo, so I am NOT prepared to send via a courier. Please DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU CAN COLLECT from London SE7, or you have contacted me prior to the end of the auction to agree that I will deliver if you will cover the fuel costs. I will consider delivering within a distance of up to an hour’s drive, so fuel costs would not be very high.
I’m having a clear-out so please check out my other items.
