Return of Castle Loudspeakers

[Jason36]

So IAG have released the new Castle Knight loudspeaker range.......I have been a fan of Castle for a few years.......having used them in an AV set-up previously and currently using Castle Richmond Standmounts in my Stereo set up.

Just wondering whether it might be worth demoing the Knight 3 and 4's with my Marantz 6003 Amp and CD (well when I get the CD).

I wonder if they have retained the same accoustic characteristics o the originals??

Any plans to Test them What HiFI????

I would love to know this too as I am a big Castle fan as well!!!

May not be the same company at all - IAG have been known to buy a famous name but have everything for that name manufactured in China, though many items are still designed in the UK.

Give them a call - think the number is listed on their website - and ask.

These are built entirely in China by IAG.

The designer (Peter Comeau) and some of the veneers are British but that will be it.

Audio-T announced some weeks ago that they are selling Castle Acoustics products...

A review of the Knight 1 and/or 2 would be nice

IAG are very good at respecting the traditions of each brand they own, particularly since Peter Comeau joined them. I heard some of the new Castles at the Manchester show and they sounded superb on the end of some new Audiolab electronics. Well worth an audition in my view.

Indeed, but I believe we are still waiting for review samples.
