Dave the Rave Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Item: Castle Howard S3 Loudspeaker Location: Croydon Park, NSW Price: $1,300 Item Condition: Excellent condition. Bought them new 4 years ago and kept well in a pet and dust free environment with grille on all the time. Bits to note is a small dent on one corner side (see pic) and one binding post in each speaker bit forced after hard tightening of spade connector - none having impacts on sound. Reason for selling: Happy with the legendary Yamaha NS-1000m. Still a regretful sale as the Howard has unsurpassed qualities in some areas including build and finish. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: These are high end very well made speakers engineered in the United Kingdom​. They have wonderful imaging and musicality typical of English speakers. Have tried them against some other higher priced speakers and keep going back to them. RRP was around $4K. Bought them new and well looked after. Don't have original boxes hence prefer local pickup - these are heavy. Many reviews on the web.

Batty Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've had the S1 from 1995, not selling mine in a hurry. GLWTS these are an awesome bargain. Easy to drive, I have even driven mine with a 12w/ch 1970 Pioneer integrated, now driving them with 90watts of Copland power, sounded awesome with ME gear too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
