swervyn Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 The pics look a bit deceiving, those things are massive! And 140kg according to specs, wow
djmt Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I have a pair of Quadral Chromium 8's and couldn't be happier. Even today they are designed AND built in Germany. German engineering, fit and finish. As close as I'll ever come to a Merc. GLWS.
Audionutz Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I’ve heard these in Sydney years ago. in room down to 16Hz. Need a good amp though! Superb speakers. GLWTS 1
Electrovoice Interface. Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Would a Musical Fidelity A3cr Dual Mono Power Amplifier Be capable to drive these Bad Boys ?
Guest CCallil Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 If anyone’s travelling from WA to Melbourne.. I’ll take them,

Even though I heard & like this amp it is not enough power for the Titan.You need at least 200w per channel

Guest CCallil Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Someone please help if you can send these to Melbourne or interstate.Thanks I might have to retract my interest, due to lack of amp-power. Shame as these would be incredible speakers. Someone will be lucky.
Electrovoice Interface. Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I thought as much re my amp amp pitty Amps are like car engines ..There is no substitute for cubic capacity= Power ..... GLWS
cableconnoisseur Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I have such fond recollections of these speakers. We used a demo pair at Douglas HiFi in Nunawading, waaaay back in the early 90's.......back when they sold REAL hifi. If memory serves me correctly, they were running off a Top of The Range Denon integrated amp that was specified well below it's actual power ratings and it was a match made in heaven. I also recall them running off a Marantz high-end amp..................and they were fabulous to listen to. A quality 150WRMS amp should do them justice, but like the car analogy above.......the more (quality) power, the better they will sound.

I believe that could of been a Denon Pma-790 good amp at the time & heaps of power for the money but these need a better amp then that
Festooned Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I had a pair of these in Adelaide. Beautiful bits of furniture that are much bigger than they appear in the photos and with a very beguiling ribbon tweeter. The transmission lines exit at the top so they don't need to be miles away from the wall or anything.

Festooned Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) No, mine were IVs. I think these were actually quite popular even considering their hefty price tag by the time they made it here from Germany. I knew of another pair in Sydney also at the time. I think amplifier power is probably pretty relative here. I power my Dynaudio S1.4LEs at 85db efficiency within about a 50 watt envelope. I have never lit the clip lights on my 120w Accuphase or heard clipping on my 120W Primare.. so I'd say 100W for these (also at 85db efficient) might well be fine in a medium room - perhaps more in a larger room. Sure, you can go louder if you have a 250W into 8ohm amp but then you might also be perfectly happy with your levels with fairly modest amplification. 85db efficient may well be a contradiction in terms as far as speakers go but I've found more variation between amplifiers' driving capacity than their wattage output specs into 8ohms would, on the surface of it, suggest. While I'm not about to try a fleapower 6GW8 amp on them I think being a *bit* open-minded in such matters can probably pay dividends to your wallet and listening experience. 8) Edited February 8, 2018 by treuben
Guest Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks for your info but I believe these are the only pair mk3 in Australia. Mk4 were different because of the crossover.100w per channel from a really good amp is good but they really need a really good 200w per channel amp to know what they are capable of besides I have heard them against a pair of PMCs Ib2s in my listening room & the Quadrals are more inefficient.
bjc Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 You could buy a pro amp to run the woofers and your other for Mid and HF. That way you could bust its nuts at the low freq and still sound sweet as up higher.... As for shipping E-GO would be happy to ship them and for cheap cheap!!! The courier otoh has no choice so you'll listen to him b!tch and moan but it's his job so he'll do it either way in the end....

Yes that would be a good idea if you wanted to biamp or triamp but one powerful hiend would be better because of keeping it simple unless you had 3 of the same amps like 3 rotels or had 2 of the same amps in bridge mode.Courier wise if someone really wants these they would do anything to get them to there place.
