Goldmund is a Swiss high-end audio maker based in Geneva, founded in 1978 when the Levy brothers created a tangential tonearm and built a company around it. The firm now produces loudspeakers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, music players, processors and home-cinema systems, and its reputation rests on very costly systems built in small numbers.
Range & what it's known for
The first product was the T3, a servo-driven tonearm that tracks across the record in a straight line. Later the Telos name came to cover the amplifiers, from the Telos 8800 up to the limited Telos 5000 project of about 5000 watts. Speaker work runs from the Apologue, Epilogue and Reference systems, now listed as legacy products, to current lines called Gaia, Prana, Rhea and Theia, plus the Pulp wireless speakers. Mechanical Grounding, introduced in 1980 for vibration control, and Leonardo time correction from 2006, aimed at group-delay errors, are the two ideas most linked to the brand.
Who owns it and where it's made
Michel Reverchon, a former IBM regional director, bought Goldmund in 1981 and moved it to Geneva because of the Swiss tradition of precision micro-mechanics. Born in 1945, he grew up around his father's photography and hi-fi shop in Paris. He led it until his retirement in 2015 and died in October 2025. The company presents its products as Swiss made, and design work such as the Proteus LS speaker modeling software of 2004 was developed in-house.
The lineup in this catalog
Amplifiers and loudspeakers, with flagship Telos and Epilogue systems priced well into six figures.
Who it's for
Goldmund suits buyers planning a complete system from one maker, where amplifiers, preamplifier and speakers are designed to work together, often in a dedicated listening room or private cinema. Entry can be a Pulp wireless speaker or a single Telos amplifier, while the larger floorstanding systems and Themis preamplification, added in 2024, form the top of the range for owners who want the whole chain from a single Geneva source.
