Offered is „Apologue Anniversary“ by Goldmund as second-hand device from the category „Active Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9886294825 ends on 27.10.2026 at 08:21 o'clock.
Against your comparable set, €180,000 is far above the €14,871 75th percentile and massively above the €9,498 median, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a market-level buy. It is roughly 12× the upper quartile, so it only makes sense if the seller is pricing in exceptional provenance, completeness, or collector-grade originality.
The upside is that this is a genuinely important Goldmund statement piece: the Apologue Anniversary is the kind of rare, flagship-level loudspeaker that appeals to serious collectors for its engineering, scale, and cachet. At this level, buyers should focus on originality, full system completeness, condition of the drivers/crossovers, and whether any factory crates, manuals, or service history are included, because those factors can materially affect both usability and resale.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Goldmund traces its origins to 1978, when two college students founded the company in France and unveiled the groundbreaking T3 servo-controlled tonearm, the world's first computer-controlled linear tracking design. This debut marked the start of a relentless pursuit of sonic perfection, with the brand soon relocating to Geneva, Switzerland, where it embraced "Swiss Made" precision and values of innovation, excellence, and passion. Named after a character in Hermann Hesse's Narcissus and Goldmund, the company has upheld these ideals for over four decades, evolving from humble beginnings into a beacon of audio craftsmanship.
The brand specializes in high-end categories that span the full audio chain, including revolutionary turntables like the Reference, iconic speakers such as the Apologue series exhibited at MoMA in New York, and powerhouse amplifiers like the Telos and NextGen lines. Goldmund also excels in DACs, preamplifiers, cables, and integrated systems, blending analog purity with cutting-edge digital wireless transmission. Every product reflects meticulous engineering, often pioneering proprietary technologies to eliminate distortion and deliver lifelike reproduction.
Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of the extreme high-end market, Goldmund commands a reputation among discerning audiophiles for defying conventional hi-fi norms and producing the most accurate, concert-like sound experiences available. Its handmade systems, synonymous with luxury and artistry, dominate niche luxury home audio and theater realms, backed by a legacy of boundary-pushing innovations that set the global gold standard.
