Forged from the esteemed legacy of the Gaia, Goldmund’s flagship model, the introduction of the Asteria, Rhea, and Theia speakers aim to redefine what’s possible for wireless speakers, combining audio quality with distinctive yet elegant styling and the ability to adjust to your room’s unique acoustics.
Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, the names Asteria, Rhea, and Theia reflect Goldmund’s ambition to elevate the listening journey beyond the conventional, offering a vast, deeply immersive experience across all musical genres.
Emerging from a rich heritage of mechanical innovation, Goldmund’s latest speaker series breaks free from the visible frame styling of the Apologue collection for a more streamlined ethos inspired by Gaia’s iconic design. Asteria, Rhea, and Theia are fashioned from a distinct silver-grey aluminum alloy, paired with matching grilles. Micro-blasted aluminum is used for the vertical and edge enclosure panels, offering a stark, elegant contrast to the horizontally aligned internal panels, which are adorned in brushed aluminum.
According to Goldmund, the Asteria offers a sublime balance of form and function, with a frequency response that stretches from 34.5 Hz to 25 kHz, powered by integrated Telos amplifiers delivering 600 watts per unit. The Rhea ensures a captivating auditory experience with its frequency response from 26.5 Hz to 25 kHz, each unit powered by 650-watt of Telos amplification. The Theia, the pinnacle of this triumvirate, extends its frequency response from 21 Hz to 25 kHz, each unit powered by 875-watt of Telos amplification, all housed within a form that is both monumental and elegantly proportioned.
The trio of speakers are all designed with Goldmund’s exclusive Proteus LS technology and equipped with Leonardo Time Correction technology through its Digital Processing System (DSP). With options for both wired and wireless connections, including a USB dongle for effortless integration with computers, the speakers DSP operates at 24-bit/96kHz.
The speakers employ Goldmund’s Mechanical Grounding building technology which use physics laws to evacuate vibrations from the structure, allowing lower resonance from speakers but also from electronics, where mechanical vibrations are one of the major sources of coloration.
