Any Quadral listeners here?

I own a pair of Aurum Orkan 9. In the Pricebraket up tp 4k I haven't heard anything yet that comes close EXCEPT the Quadral Platinum+ Nine, which are truly an experience because they have the most unique bass I have heard...but sadly they were way to big for my room.

On the other hand the Orkan do produce pretty good base and are amazing for rock (they even measure rather flat, although I didn't care much for that back when I bought them).
 
There is also an anniversary edition of the Titan VIII limit edition of 100 pairs(or coming soon).
 
Hi 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.
 
I have Quadral Aurum Montan 9. Pretty impressive speakers both in terms of size and sound quality. If someone considers them I would point that their lower frequencies that reach subwoofer territory can easily overwhelm smaller rooms and their placement close to corners shoud be avoided. Had Chromium Style 8 too and didn't like them at all despite all the raving reviews.
 
Can you compare a Quadral Mk I with a Quadral Platinum M5 or generally with new speakers from 2005 onwards? Can the old Vulkan still keep up? The bass is definitely tighter and faster on the new models? Or is an old Vulkan still a reference for little money today?
 
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,
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.
