Goldmund unveils $240,000 Mimesis Statement preamp as part of $1.5 million setup

Swiss audio maker Goldmund today unveils the Mimesis Statement, a $240,000 stereo preamplifier for elite listening rooms, according to Wired. Wired reports the unit is an exercise in extreme Swiss sound engineering and forms only one part of a complete Goldmund setup priced around $1.5 million. The price tag places the preamp above many high-end sports cars, underscoring the stakes in ultra-luxury hi-fi.

As the control hub in a reference system, the Mimesis Statement is designed to pair with Goldmund power amplifiers, sources, and flagship speakers, Wired says. The sticker shock underscores a market where cost-no-object components target collectors and bespoke listening rooms, even as mainstream audio trends to simpler setups. Watch for official specifications, first-listen impressions, and dealer availability across key markets worldwide. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
