Offered is „Severn“ by Castle Acoustics as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7983210358 ends on 14.10.2026 at 19:15 o'clock.
€380 is fair to slightly good for this one, and it sits just under the €387 median of your recent EUR comparables. It’s comfortably inside the normal used range, below the €400 75th percentile, so this is not an ambitious ask; it’s priced where a serious buyer can engage without feeling overcooked.
The Severn 2 is generally appreciated for that classic Castle balance: smooth, musical midrange, easy listenability, and enough scale to work well in a modest room. At good condition, the main appeal is getting a respected floorstander at a sensible price, especially if the cabinets are clean and the drivers are original. I’d treat it as a solid buy if the surrounds, veneers, and terminals check out and the sale includes the stands/spikes or any original bits.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Castle Acoustics, a revered British loudspeaker brand, traces its origins to September 3, 1973, when it was founded in the North Yorkshire market town of Skipton by William "Bill" Escott and John Collinson. Both veterans of Wharfedale—and Collinson also of Quad—these engineers established the company in an old woollen mill, drawing its name and logo from the historic Skipton Castle. From the outset, Castle emphasized complete in-house production, crafting drive units, electronic components, and hand-veneered wooden cabinets under one roof, setting it apart in the 1970s hi-fi landscape.
The brand has steadfastly focused on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing diversification into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Iconic models like the Howard, Harlech, Durham, Pembroke, and later Knight series exemplify its commitment to premium wood-veneered enclosures, woven carbon-fiber bass drivers, and cutting-edge acoustic engineering. Acquired by the International Audio Group in 2007, Castle has expanded into home cinema while preserving its two-channel heritage.
Positioned as a high-end boutique manufacturer, Castle commands respect among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts for its "no compromise" sonic performance, furniture-grade craftsmanship, and timeless musicality. Award-winning designs, such as the Knight series lauded by Hi-Fi Choice and Hi-Fi World, underscore its enduring appeal in the premium market, blending British tradition with modern innovation.
