    Thanks Nando

    I have communicated with Mr Clayton previously and certainly wish him the very best if this is the case. I guess my main concern is Castle will end up off-shore with nothing to differentiate it from 'the rest' - although there is nothing wrong with 'the rest', Castle had something special and unique IMHO.

    It'll be interesting how it all plays out. Here's hoping!!

    Cheers

    Richard

    Castle acoustics - any new developments?

    Hi

    I was wondering whether there was any recent news on the fate of castle? Last I heard was that the factory was closed and bits were being sold off. It didn't look good for future manufacture at Skipton as described in the following

    http://forums.naim-audio.com/eve/for...7?r=8622977607

    Does anyone know whether the brand has been sold, saved, moved to China or is it really the end of castle?
