Castle Warwick 3 Bookshelf speakers
The body of Castle Warwick 3 loudspeaker is made of 18-mm MDF and is finished with natural veneer (9 variants); quality of the finish is as always brilliant. Diffuser of the LF/MF driver is a carbon fiber fabric; sound coil is wound with a lightweight aluminum wire, coated with a layer of copper. Located under the woofer tweeter is traditionally shifted to the edge of the faceplate - to increase spacious uniformity of sound field in the frames of "stereo triangle". All drivers are fastened with screws. 630-volt capacitors, each with the size of matchbox, stand in purely well-executed body. By the way, the body is finished with veneer even from inside and greatly muted.
The sound of Warwick 3 in a mysterious way combines the features of strict academism and timbral originality. At first, for example, it seems that there is as if not enough high frequencies. But when you listen more carefully, in time you realize that everything is all right at the top: accurately, correctly, detailed. Perhaps, only at the level of the subtlest nuances you want more "sharpness" of violin and harpsichord. But there is no any need to listen to the system's voice for a long time in order to feel excellent micro dynamics. There is the impression that not only the smallest details are heard, but also expressive details inside them, as if the system is able to transfer plasticity of not only soft sounds, but the quiet itself... Really beautiful. But in order to "open" the loudspeakers in full, you should make them play loud enough (but not too much). At comfortable volume a confident calmness of high frequencies and light "pomposity" of low frequencies give an absolute feeling of "floor" sound. At the increased volume levels bass thickens and advantage in favor of mid-low register becomes palpable. Castle Warwick 3 will appeal to the lovers of live instruments, classics, jazz and especially to those of them, who give higher priority to the exterior of loudspeaker, considering it as an important part of luxurious interior.
