Hi-Fi News Outstanding Product

The Castle Windsor Dukes are a masterclass in speaker design by Karl-Heinz Fink and the IAG team. Robustly made and beautifully finished, they turn in an impeccable performance across all genres of music. If you think floorstanders are king but space dictates you need standmounts, then listening to these loudspeakers will more than turn your head. They’ve certainly converted me.

What Hi-Fi? (UK)

The Castle Windsor Series is a new range of loudspeakers that comprises the Duke and Earl models. They're the first Castle speakers for many years to be UK-made – taking advantage of parent company IAG's new 9000 square foot production facility in Huntingdon – with every critical part developed and manufactured in-house. But that doesn't mean they've cut any corners.

What Hi-Fi? (UK)

Castle suggests that the Windsor speakers evoke the golden age of hi-fi, a sentiment that fits perfectly with the return of manufacturing to the brand’s country of birth. Castle’s coming home, it could be said, and the results are wonderful to hear.

Windsor Series

Castle are proud to announce the Windsor Series, signalling the return to the UK for the manufacturing of Castle Loudspeakers. Castle Windsor Series comes, with the craftsmanship and quality that is self-evident and clearly marks the brand’s intention to restore and build upon the reputation of the brand for superlative quality loudspeakers.

Windsor Series; Duke and Earl, are equipped with an 8” woofer and 6.5” woofer, respectively. Both drivers were purpose-developed together with a 28mm textile dome tweeter, to perform seamlessly in two classic bookshelf / monitor style cabinets.

The drive units have all been engineered from the ground up, using cast alloy components, yet retaining the essential character through the use of new woven Polypropylene cones and glass-fibre voice coils.

The cabinet work is, as you would expect from a product bearing the Castle name, first class. The hand-selected, book-matched pairs of veneers are sourced from the original suppliers to ensure continuity in the Castle legacy. Our dedicated ‘hand-finished’ team is trained to deliver the highest quality ‘furniture-grade’ finishes and build. No two pairs are the same!

The all-new Windsor Series is, without doubt, the best Castle series yet! It was specially commissioned and developed in a collaboration of Castle engineers and Karl-Heinz Fink’s ‘Fink Team’ engineers – one of the most successful loudspeaker design teams on the planet. Windsor Duke and Windsor Earl stand head and shoulders over its peer group in performance, build and finish – a fine quality loudspeaker in the classic tradition of classic British Hi-Fi engineering.
