What should I do with Castle Conway II speakers?

These speakers were inherited a while ago but I am still not sure what to do with them.

When they were working properly they sounded lovely, but since then they have done a lot of sitting around, and as such the bass cones are completely shot. I want to know whether it would be worth me having the cones replaced, or whether I would be better off spending the same money on a new pair of speakers? Also, would it be possible to get the cones repaired rather than replacing them - if so where might I be able to get this done?

Cheers

I don't know the cost of getting the cones replaced or repaired, but the Conway II bears any sonic resemblance to the Conway 3, spend the money! My Conway 3 and Stirling 3 speakers are amazing.

I know Castle doesn't have much of a presence in the US right now, but Canadian or Euro dealers should be able to get what you need.

Good luck, you have a great speaker there...

Yes, these speakers were damn good when they were in proper working condition, and living in the UK I shouldn't have much of a problem finding a dealer to carry out the repair!

Anyone any ideas on the cost side of things?

Thanks,

David:

Assuming that Castle is still making driver replacements or at least servicing them, the cost should not be that bad. This is usually not that time consuming a repair and labor is typically what drives the cost. I would contact Castle direct though, before speaking to a dealer.
