AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Quadral Wotan Phonologue Mk I Pair — Hannover 1981-83 — Technics ribbon, original grills, matching pair manufactured in Hannover (Germany) between 1981 and 1983. They belong to the first generation of the Phonologue series, Quadral's high-end line in the 80s and one of the most sought-after in German hi-fi vintage.
Matching pair, serial number 280891. Original rear labels intact.
Condition
Very good condition, with the minimal wear typical of its age (see real photos).
They do not require restoration: delivered ready to connect and listen.
• Original drivers in excellent condition: woofer, midrange and Technics ribbon tweeter (ribbon/magnetostrictive), no dust buildup, no tears or clear signs of aging.
• Original new grilles. In boxes over 40 years old it's an unusual detail and highly valued.
• Wood cabinets with live grain, black oak / smoked oak finish, no serious dents or significant wear.
• Original terminals and bass ports in proper working order.
Specifications
• Type: 3-way, O.L.C.D. principle (bass-reflex / transmission line Quadral)
• Power: 150 W nominal / 200 W musical
• Response: 30 Hz – 50,000 Hz
• Impedance: 8 Ω
• Drivers: woofer 260 mm (10”) + midrange 120 mm (~4.7–5”) + Technics ribbon tweeter
• Dimensions: 700 × 420 × 350 mm (height × width × depth)
• Weight: 28 kg per cabinet
Sound
The character of these Wotan is what has kept them alive among enthusiasts: very fine, open highs thanks to the Technics ribbon, natural mids and powerful, controlled bass with body. They are not "neutral catalog" speakers; they have personality, scale and that German signature from the early 80s that is precisely sought in this series.
Ideal for someone who wants a serious vintage system, not a ornament.
Photos
All real. Include:
• Front with and without grille
• Sides and wood grain
• Rear with ports and labels
• Close-ups of woofer, midrange and ribbon
• Terminals and construction details
Shipping / pickup
Each speaker weighs 28 kg. They would be shipped in 2 separate packages.
I strongly recommend in-person pickup: reduces cost, transport risk and potential claims.
If shipped, the buyer assumes transport and packaging will be done with the maximum care possible, but weight and volume make pickup the most sensible option.
Ready to enjoy. Matching pair, new grilles and a condition hard to replicate in these Phonologue Mk I.
