They somehow did, but the guy quickly blew a woofer because of an amplifier failure putting out large amount of DC.What a shame. Hope they went to a good home![]()

The quaHi all. I am quite a newbie to the hi-fi world (= don't have a lot of reference points). I am running Quadral Aurum Orkan VIII with Naim Uniti Nova and Tellurium Q Black II cables (and have already replaced the Nova standard power cable with an Audioquest NRG 2). The loudspeakers were an opportunity and I didn't have a chance to audition them before buying. I listen almost exclusively to EDM and in a 45 sqm large room. As for my first impression, as mentioned by multiple people, the soundstage created by Quadrals is really big. The bass is tight and punchy (I am still playing with the position of the speakers in the room). I am a bit less convinced about the treble - it feels well controlled and clear at lower volume, but becomes imprecise and uncomfortable at higher volume. I was wondering if the issue is with the speakers or with the input. Very keen to hear any thoughts.
From the looks as specs it’s same as the Vulkan 8R, that means, minus 8 inch woofers. its directivity isn’t on par with the new speakers. So off axis upper mids are getting boosted from reflections while the rest of the frequency sinks down.Hi all. I am quite a newbie to the hi-fi world (= don't have a lot of reference points).

Hi,Hi all,
I'm new to this site, so please forgive me if I clank about with newbie faux pas.
I have a pair of Quadral Vulkan IV speakers, I think that the 10" 250w 4 Ohm bass drivers/woofers are probably past their best and may need to be refurbished or possibly replaced.
Can anyone advise me of a suitable aftermarket / other manufacturer replacement driver (not OEM) that will fit in directly without getting involved with crossover adjustments etc - or a good, reliable driver refurbishing company in the UK?
All help gratefully received
Hi Mr T.,Hi,
Wonderful set of speakers you have there, congratulations. I would try dropping a message to the manufacturer (https://www.quadral.com/en/contact/) to get assistance. The Vulkan (as the Titan I owned) is a transmission line requiring specific TS parameters bass driver to work as designed. Using any other driver will seriously deteriorate frequency response and overall system performance.
I assume your bass drivers need new foam surrounds, if you are handy you could even repair them yourself, there are plenty of tutorials available on YT. If you don't want to, then try https://wilmslowaudio.co.uk/pages/repair-and-upgrade-service for instance.
Good luck.
