A Journey Across the Atlantic
Goldmund proudly participated in AXPONA 2025, held from April 11 to 13 in Schaumburg, near Chicago. Our presence at the event was made possible through our valued partners, Rhythm Distribution, Goldmund’s official distributors for North America.
Innovation Meets Emotion
In the Utopia lounge, we showcased the Rhea active stereo speakers paired with the Eidos Streamer. For the demonstrations, we opted for a wired configuration using digital SPDIF cables to ensure optimal network stability amidst the heavy wireless traffic typical of such a busy event. While the Rhea speakers are fully capable of operating wirelessly with the Eidos Streamer, this setup allowed us to guarantee a seamless and uninterrupted listening experience and utmost resolution.
Streaming Pure Emotion
Music demonstrations featured the Rhythm Distribution curated playlist, streamed from Qobuz via the Roon app, which integrates smoothly with the Eidos Streamer to deliver high-resolution audio. Despite the room’s less-than-ideal acoustics, attendees were deeply impressed by the naturalness, clarity, and power of the Rhea speakers’ performance, highlighting Goldmund’s renowned expertise in digital processing and powered speaker design.
Small Size, Infinite Emotion
A pair of black Pulp WiSA/bluetooth speakers was on static display in the Utopia lounge. As the most compact model in Goldmund’s speaker lineup, Pulp embodies the full range of our proprietary technologies, including Class A/B amplification and advanced digital signal processing. The Pulp perfectly illustrates how Goldmund’s DNA can be distilled into a minimalist form without compromising on performance.
An Ode to Analog
In Room 1230, Goldmund presented a sophisticated analog system designed for the most discerning audiophiles. The system featured:
- Telos 2800 mono power amplifiers
- Eidos Streamer
- Mimesis PH3.8 NextGen Phono Preamplifier
- Mimesis Signature Digital/Analog Preamplifier
- Garrard Turntable
- Marten passive stereo speakers
This setup bridged the best of analog warmth with Goldmund’s technological precision, offering a captivating alternative experience to our powered speaker demonstrations.
Moments That Inspire
It was truly a pleasure to share the Goldmund experience with customers, audiophiles, and high-fidelity enthusiasts. The positive feedback and heartfelt conversations reaffirmed our commitment to delivering the highest standards of audio excellence.
We thank everyone who visited us at AXPONA 2025 and look forward to creating even more memorable musical experiences in the future.
