字里行间还有英语拼写错误。。。




A long-time Castle fan, Karl-Heinz Fink and the Fink Team collA B Orated with the Castle engineers to create a loudspeaker series that embodies the philosophes of the Castle Acoustics brand pedigree; a magnificent loudspeaker with hallmarks of craftsmanship and quality.

The all-new Windsor Series is, without doubt, the best Castle series yet! It was specially commissioned and developed in a collA B Oration of Castle engineers and Karl-Heinz Fink’s ‘Fink Team’ engineers – one of the most successful loudspeaker design teams on the planet. Windsor Duke and Windsor Earl stand head and shoulders over its peer group in performance, build and finish – a fine quality loudspeaker in the classic tradition of classic British Hi-Fi engineering.

hiend的好东西都是要靠深爱音乐创始人家族传承的小公司（非被大资本收购后高度商业化的公司）搞出来东西！

讲真，先歌还谈不上资本圈的吧，高看他了

我无知了，原来fink team 主导过乐富豪的钻石系列设计，城堡的richmond也是他们设计的。。。。

By the end of 2023, all Castle speakers will be made in the UK, not just the Windsor Earl and Windsor Duke.


貌似先歌现在要把国内工厂都关了回到英国剑桥亨廷顿开厂？

看来是搞明白在这个圈子里国产不容易出头，回英国搞made in UK 更容易从发烧友手里搞钱。。。

这是英国制造业回流了啊。

Few would be surprised by an audio brand moving its manufacturing operations to China to reduce costs. But the other way around? That doesn’t happen very often.

This is exactly what Castle has done with its new Windsor Earl and Windsor Duke loudspeakers.

Founded in 1973, Castle is one of Britain’s best-loved speaker brands but, for the past two decades, its speakers have been designed in the UK but manufactured in China. That changes with the Windsor Earl and Windsor Duke – both are manufactured in Britain as part of the company’s Made in the UK initiative.

The new Castles are built in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, at an expanded 25,000 sq ft production site. This Huntingdon facility is also where you’ll find Castle’s offices, design labs, and anechoic test chamber, meaning the speakers are designed, tested, and manufactured at the same location.
This is all made possible by Castle’s parent company, International Audio Group (IAG), which is also the steward of other classic British hi-fi brands including Mission and Wharfedale. And these have already put the Cambridgeshire production facility to the test.

2022 saw the launch of the critically acclaimed, re-engineered Mission 770 speakers, which were designed in Huntingdon and are manufactured there too. These were followed by the Wharfedale Dovedale, a thoroughly up-to-date re-imagining of the classic Dovedale 3 speakers from 1971, announced just last month.

所以好玩的事儿来了，之前中资买了国外品牌在国内做，很容易被发烧友认为是品牌变质，直接抛弃，以后中资直接在国外做，前台设计制造都是外国的，但品牌持有方是中资背景，国内发烧圈子会买账么？

感觉很多品牌几经倒手，背后真正的金主和产地都已经已经扑朔迷离，比如思某达，现在依然自称英国原产，但是网站已经从最开始的co.uk变成com, 新出的产品特别的惠州风格，似曾相识。。。

这些问题不需要纠结下去了，所有“玩”的东西，“玩”的差不多，觉得“腻”了，就是“退烧”不“玩”这个了 ...

没啥纠结的，有感而发，话说真玩腻了谁还来紫坛，来了就说明没腻，各有各的关注点

我买的先歌旗下的城堡音箱和国都功放，说明书都有明显的错别字，看着别扭，
不过无所谓了，东西用着还行，价位也不高。

hiend中国制造缺的不是品质不是技术，是底蕴。。。

宝华也被大资本收购了，但丝毫没有影响它一线扬声器品牌的名声和地位。

很多收购不会去参与具体产品的设计和制造。就像中国企业收购了VOLVO，但瑞典的研发团队保持不变。哥尔收购了丹拿，也不敢去动丹麦的研发团队。漫步者收了STAX，但STAX仍然是那几个老头子在搞。
