Goldmund Dialogues, Info please

Is this Dialogue or Super Dialogue?
The only thing I can tell you is that the SD is a great sounding speaker with the right amp (this would be a goldmund also.)

Hi,

I own a pair of Goldmund Dialogues.
I don't know a lot about them either, but here it is.

Sensitivity is 96dB/w/m, impedance is 8 ohms. They can be driven very well by a 5W tube amp.
The crossovers are very complex with >100 parts per side.
I think they were produced until around '91-'92 and use Focal units (I think these were modified a bit to improve sensitivity). It has a bass-port in the back.

These speakers are very fast (Goldmund claimed they were the fastest speakers in existence back in the eighties) and seem to need a fast amp to really sing. I'm using Spectral amps now, maybe Goldmund would be even better.

Hope this helps.

About Dialogues well driven: very fast, crystal-clear, precise, not euphonic, but not "cold" however. I remember that they could easily sound: thin, cut off in the bass with lower-mids bloom -- when driven with unmatched electronics. (It was one of the huge M-Fidelities -- 400? -- driving them to disastrous effects.)

The Supers are easier to match with amplification and get a tonally balanced sound.

A very fast pre/amp combo with some current capability is useful -- wide-bandwidth too, if possible, as per lawrensw above.

I, for one, have fond memories of these speakers and a good deal on Goldmund is rare! Enjoy!

I know them very well as I had a pair for 16 years (serie2). A fine speaker. There was no user manual, only a product sheet.
Works best with Goldmund cones and a better fixing of the speakers. A little improvement can be obtained by upgrading the bidding post to Cardas rodium or WBT.

If you have more questions.
