I have a lovely old pair of Castle Pembroke stand mounted speakers (wooden stands, those were the days) that i think are just fantastic....but!
I noticed that the rubber at the edge of the bass drivers (does nobody called them woofers anymore?) are very very slightly starting to perish. Whilst this seems to not be affecting the sound, i think over time it will do.
Does anyone have a sensible idea what sort of speaker i could look at to give me the nice full sound that the Castle's do, whilst maintaining a reasonable budget. Looking to potentially purchase over the next couple of months with a budget of £2-300 new or second hand.
I do have them fairly near to a wall and one is in a corner of the room, but about a foot out. The castle's are front ported, which i think is helping the bass to not be too boomy, though i do enjoy low bass.
