Goldmund designs and markets their speakers as part of a complete system including digital front-end, electronics, and cables. There are only a few Goldmund showrooms in the world to hear this system, but if you have the chance it is well worth it. IMO, this system is state-of-the-art and the sound proves it. Very similar to Cello's approach a few years back. Although the other speakers you mentioned are world-class, they each design and market their speakers to be paired with a variety of products, thus they are sold in the traditional high-end retail store. Which is better? It depends. But, the system approach does seem to make sense to achieve the ultimate sound. Furthermore, the current top Goldmund speakers use active crossovers with amplifiers for each speaker driver instead of passive crossovers like most traditional speakers. I hope you find this information usefull.
Goldmund Speakers, one question?
Some years ago I heard at Franckfurt show, one room with one all Goldmund system, included the speakers, the people was in the room hearing the music as it was a exceptional sound, and for me, really was a extraordinary sound.
