Speaker pair Quadral Aurum Wotan VIII
To his flagship, the "golden" line speaker company special attitude. These speakers combine the latest technology and materials, as well as careful consideration of every detail. Model Wotan VIII is a junior floor speakers in this flagship series. Despite its compact size, the column has a strong antirezo-nance body, covered with natural veneer and four radiators. Tweeter and midbass speaker working in a separate compartment. Two woofers have their own, separate chamber and loaded on the reflex port, located in the lower part of the rear wall. All speakers use a diffuser of corporate metal composite aluminum, magnesium and titanium. Since the resonance frequency of each metal has its own, the total return of internal resonance gently smeared over a range of frequencies, improving internal damping of the diffuser. While still maintaining high rigidity and low weight. The speakers use a linear magnetic system, carefully calculated by computer simulation. Of course, careful attention should be branded ribbon tweeter made by powerful neodymium magnets. Very light aperture is capable of reproducing frequencies starting at 2 kHz, while winning in their area of 4 times and sound pressure of 10 dB in the traditional dome tweeter. The case is based on the podium, which can be screwed in spikes.
Speakers sound quite balanced and expensive. Neutral tone brightens with increasing frequency. Scene medium size and depth, and width. Bottom dense and assembled, it does not suffer from slackness and exaggerations of a modern Hi-Fi. Mid slightly concave and has a slightly reduced clarity. Most likely, the "merit" in the midbass universal radiator with a large rubber surround, At this point I would like to see a special midrange head. Treble remarkably transparent and clear. However, the return on HF appeared slightly reduced. Also noticeable difference in the origin of these HF: non-dynamic nature of the tweeter still makes itself felt. The overall impression of the acoustics there are very good. She has a firm handwriting, and it is really representative of the High End.
