Luxury speaker brand Goldmund has followed the launch of its floorstanding Tethys passive loudspeakers with a “compact” variant, the Melos.
It is set inside a monolithic cube, both for minimalist design aesthetics and audio performance. The speaker is compact, but has sharp, precise edges that reflect the brand’s craftmanship.
There will be a bespoke stand available that matches its lines, so that it looks as good as it sounds.
Inside the cube, you get a 7-inch woofer and a single soft dome tweeter. It features a frequency response of 43 Hz (-6 dB) > 25 kHz, and an impedance of 6.0 Ohms (4.4 minimal).
The sound signature is claimed to offer an extended dynamic range, so that every subtle nuance can be picked out. That’ll also depend on the system you hook it up to, of course, as it is a passive speaker. An active version is also in the works.
