John Myles has been suitable awed by the new Quadral Aurum Galan's in this months edition of Hifi World which has awarded the superb stand mounts with a 5 globe review.
John commented:-
"As I mentioned at the start, I enjoyed the previous Megan VIII model but the Galan 9 takes that performance and improves on it. Located on a firm pair of
stands and driven by our reference Mclntosh MC 152 amplifier the Aurums immediately summoned up a clean, open sound-stage.
As with many ribbon tweeter equipped 'speakers the treble is fast and extended but it's not harsh or searing - just nicely judged to give the impression of detail."
"Obviously, as in any stand mount loudspeaker of this size, you don't get wall-shaking sub-sonics. The very bottom octaves of James Blake's 'limit To Your Love' were missing but the Aurums didn't rob the track of any of its power. Impressively there's excellent integration between the tweeter and mid/bass driver - a quality not all ribbon-equipped models display.That means there's no evidence of mid band suck out, the lack of which gives excellent detailing on dense tracks."
Summing up John delivered:-
"The Galan 9s have a sophisticated sound that is fast, detailed and accurate. They're a lovely loudspeaker to hear.Try to get an audition if you want a superb sound from a small 'speaker."
