[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 59377, member: 20"] The Castle brand name was bought by a Chinese company, International Audio Group. IAG basically bought a number of old struggling British brands like Wharfedale, QUAD, Audiolab, Mission and Castle and moved manufacturing operations to China The Chinese claim to have retained some design offices in the UK to give the brands some credibility. It seem to have worked in the case of Quad and Wharfedale, yielding quite competitive products at their respective price levels. I suspect Castle will not be much different. So if I was in the market for a speaker in that price range, I would certainly give them an audition. Castle cabinetry used to be quite a bit better than similar priced competition, it would be interesting to see whether the Chinese retained those values. [/QUOTE]
