The Howard S2 is the largest member of the Castle Quarter Wave family. The narrow fronted cabinet coupled with a 25 mm metal dome tweeter guarantees stable stereo imagery with excellent presentation of depth and separation
The two 165 mm plasticised paper pulp drivers were developed especially for the Howard. They have massive high energy magnets, stiffer than usual suspensions and are built into substantial die-cast chassis.
These drive units excite the tapered and folded Quarter ave pipe inside the rigid cabinet. Exceptionally clean, extended bass with low distortion, high energy mid and sweet treble are the hallmarks of the Howard S2.
Our largest Quarter Wave system loudspeaker, the Castle Howard S2, is tuned to roll of below 35 Hz, making the system larger than the Harlech, and requiring an extra bass driver to load its longer horn and increased internal volume. Thanks to the high efficiency inherent in Quarter Wave systems, the increased cabinet volume also produces increased sound volume which remain slow in distortion and high in accuracy, the two key parameters for true high fidelity sound. Higher register are delicately handled by our proven 25 mm metal dome treble unit. As beautiful to look at as it is to listen to, the new Castle Howard S2 is engineered for a lifetime's enjoyment.
The room filling spaciousness in the Howard S2's sound is aided by careful positioning of the bass/mid drivers on both the front and top surfaces of the cabinet, so you can enjoy more of the music, in more locations within the room.
