Got to say I kept them running for the last two hours or so and over time got quite used to the brightness. The tweeter is really good. Only when switching back to stronger speakers the lack of bass becomes painfully apparent.Boxes that size cannot have a real transmission line, if manufacturers think they have cracked it in boxes that small they should put their mic where there mouth is. What this type of box often has is a cancellation from the opening at some bass frequencies, making them much worse than a simple port. An in room measurement will show this, and give your a slight chance you can work around it with placement.
No one expected "massive" response, where did you read that?Specs are, as with any other manufacturer, very unprecise, but they certainly don't overestimate speaker LF capability. This is a small volume speaker so expecting massive LF response is naive.
I'd get the ruler out, they clearly don't know themselves. There are contradictions all over their website.It´s 150 in the brochure that came with the speakers.
... it says the specs for the Avon 1. There are several hints, not least the size, the weight and the words "2-way bookshelf speaker". It has been copy and pasted by the intern, probably one more reason why nobody knows Castle outside of us geeks.On https://castle.uk.com/avon-2/ it says...
So... take this with caution because I hardly knot what Im doing. Hooked up the Blue Yeti mic to REW for a comparative measurement of the Castle Avon (red line) vs another reference speaker (blue line). Do you see the dip in the lower hz region?
The Yeti is not made for measurement but in a comparative setting it might tell something:

Second run, zoomed in; treble looks messy but likely is caused by the Yeti or room situation, lets look at the bass region:
