£500,000 GOLDMUND GAIA FLAGSHIP SPEAKER SYSTEM

Following in the footsteps of the Goldmund Apologue and Epilogue designs, the team in Geneva has created their new reference design with a “contemporary aesthetic for the 21st century”.

We spotted the huge GAIA at High End Munich 2022, but they were just on static display.

In Greek mythology, GAIA is depicted as mother earth and therefore it’s quite fitting that this new speaker is the vision and creation of two talented women, designer Cecile Barani and Dr Veronique Adam (Head of Acoustics at Goldmund).

Appearing to be hewn from solid metal, the minimalist design is fabricated with no visible fixings, exhibiting the typical luxurious manufacturing expected from a Swiss-Made product.

Evolving Goldmund’s mechanical grounding technology from the classic Z-Frame ‘exoskeleton’ design, as seen in the Apologue model, the GAIA now incorporates this important technical feature as an internal ‘endoskeleton’ support structure.

GAIA has eight drivers and eight channels of Goldmund Telos amplifier and Alize DAC circuitry, the 5-way DSP active speaker produces a total of 2500 watts per channel with the added convenience of Goldmund’s proprietary wireless connection.

NEW CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

This latest statement design marks an important step for the new young team at Goldmund, as it will also inform the look of the next generation of products that are currently under development.

Finally, as befits a flagship design, GAIA will be one of the first models produced in Goldmund’s brand new manufacturing and R&D facility that opens later this year in Geneva.

HiFi Pig Says: Quite possibly some of the biggest HiFi we have seen, though I guess if you are spending half a million quid on HiFi you will probably have the space for it!
