Twenty-eight years ago, with TITAN and VULKAN, AURUM created speakers that brought a new dimension to listening. And from that same time, the two top performers have been accompanied by a somewhat slighter-built, but barely less eager sister: the MONTAN. Each generation has had the same genetic heritage, and naturally that also goes for the new AURUM MONTAN VIII. The MONTAN VIII gets its remarkable musical talent from the DNA of the TITAN VII and its legendary forerunners.
This includes, among other things, its pressure-chamber/reflex design for deep, clean, powerful bass; the refinedALTIMA® membranes of the large-format, exceptionally sound-neutral woofers and midranges; and a ribbon tweeter based on the magnetostatic principle with a feather-light membrane that gives overtones a wondrous sparkle. Exceedingly strong drive magnets in every chassis optimize the efficiency factor and precision detail. With all these, select components on the frequency separating filter, as well as premium Real Cable® inner wiring, exploit every possibility for sound improvement.
The modern casing design brings a stylish accent to any household atmosphere and comes in high-gloss premium black or white. Additionally, we offer 3 genuine wood variations with a premium finish. Upon request, you can also get the MONTAN VIII in more than 180 custom colours.
The price of the MONTAN VIII includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Self-confidence like that can come only from a brand-name manufacturer with decades of experience in building top-quality speakers.

Musically an undisputed talent and technically a superb piece of engineering with a masterly finish: that's the new ALTAN from quadral. Its unadulterated reproduction of the fundamental tones is down to the quadral ALTIMA® diaphragm, made from a compound of aluminium, titanium and magnesium. And the high trebles come over exceptionally accurately and effortlessly thanks to quadral's new ribbon tweeter. The crossover network gives this duo precisely the support it needs to make music with unequalled homogeneity and vitality. The ALTAN can handle even really high levels of volume, and the sound it generates is what you'd normally expect from a bigger unit.
