Castle Pembroke opinions

The yew finish looks stunning! I might be inclined to buy a pr. for this reason alone! They are a very small floorstander. Not many chooses in this size other than Totem Arros. Had a pr. of the Avon's a few yrs back and the bass out of the 6" driver was very impressive for its size. As I recall, the grills were really difficult to remove. These spks. would need careful component matching, as w/any other spk. The only problem I see w/these spks. would be their resale value and perhaps the difficulty in reselling them in the future. Go for it and let us know your thoughts
about these speakers. (BTW, Ruark made a similiar sized spk. a few yrs. back as well. I believe they were called the "Templers"??) Good Luck!

Why not consider the Spendor 3/1P? I'm not all that familiar w/the current Castle spks., but I believe the Castle's will not provide the magic that you'll find in the Spendors. I would look into these two other floorstanders. Snell E/III's/Mission Freedom 752. For the $, these are bargains.
