Brio good enough for Castle Harlechs?

[x21]

I was wondering if the newer brio can handle such speakers decently.

 

[Weirdness]

8 ohm/88-89db sensitivity on the Castles you're good to go!

Only one way to find out but no reason why it won't work well...

I don't see why not
As long as high SPL in large room is not expected.

I had Harlech S2's. They liked a fair bit of space around them, really needed a bit of power to wake them up and a decent quality amp to keep the bass under control. A Nait was hopeless, an Exposure 17/18 a lot better but big Integrateds from JVC, Sony and Pioneer were better again. They aren't the 'fastest' speakers in the world but timbre and scale are great.

I think that that would be a great starting point; both are nice pieces that should get along well.

Let us know?

They definitely like to be turned up together
They definitely are a bit slower than some other speakers but they still manage to have lots of scale and space to the sound.

I have S1s in a rather small room. But they still manage to have a giant sound stage and tons of power.

I love the Brio. You should be GTG.

Castles have easy impedance, the 8 Ohm is genuine
