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

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.

Cheers!

We have tried contacting Castle in the past but to no avail - looks like it might actually be worth trying again. I had heard that it would cost something £100 to £150 to get the speakers repaired; whether this was each or for the pair I can't remember, though...

I suggested contacting Castle direct because (like EPOS 10 years ago), Castle manufactures all its own parts (in the UK). Castle's contact information is below.

In the US, Audio Advisor used to sell Castle speakers. They may be able to supply importer information; etc. You can contact them at www.audioadvisor.com.
