Goldmund's Gaïa Flagship Active Speakers Have (Finally) Landed

Goldmund teased the hifi world with their flagship Gaïa Active Speakers last

Goldmund teased the hifi world with their flagship Gaïa Active Speakers last year at Munich High End, but the Swiss company has recently shared, "Our majestic, elegant and powerful new Gaïa speakers have finally risen from the earth." Totem-like (I said that).

From Goldmund:

The Gaïa pair consists of five independent speakers mounted one on top of the other, reaching a height of 2.10m. Each speaker is equipped with eight drivers and eight channels of Telos amplification.

Using state-of-the-art technology, one part of the drivers is directed towards the front of the speaker and the other towards the back, resulting in a natural, powerful and very accurate sound system.

Built entirely in aluminium, Gaïa is both sonically and aesthetically clear. A majestic figure adorned with straight lines similar to the texture of rock, Gaïa has been ingeniously manufactured without any visible fixtures, demonstrating once again the diligence and rigour of our Swiss Maison.

Standing 6′ 8″ tall, that's taller than Darko, the Gaïa, designed in collaboration with French designer Cécile Barani, cut a striking figure. Originally priced at £500,000.
