I purchased a pair of these last year to repair my Castle Avon speakers than had a failed driver. These drop straight in to the original mounting holes and don’t require any fettling. There is a slight gap as they don’t quite fill the original space but with the grilles on you wouldn’t know. I expect you could 3D print some surrounding trim if you wanted to. They sound great, a bit more punch than the originals. I’ve got them paired with some Sony separates and a Rega Turntable. They really sing with a decent CD player. Fantastic service from Willys Hifi. Great price, well packaged and quick dispatch. Even included a handwritten note! Thanks!

Thanks for the review Jonathan - enjoy the music !
