May 2014 - Stenheim Reference - This Swiss speaker house which was started by four Goldmund engineers who have since migrated to Devialet is readying their new Reference line under new CEO Jean-Pascal Panchard. The world premiere is scheduled during Munich HighEnd 2014, albeit not at the main conference center venue but in the Hotel Kempinski on Friday the 16th of May after regular show hours. Like the existing Alumine monitor and matching subwoofer stand, the Stenheim Reference speakers will adopt full aluminium enclosures to add themselves to the Magico and YG Acoustics lineage.
Reading the link below suggests that all 5 founders left in 2013...

I think these are the guys who designed the speakers I use too before they left to form Stenheim, the Goldmund Epilog 1&2. There is an Epilog 3 subwoofer too but since the vast Epilog 2 already goes down to 26 Hz (lower in room) this is a home theatre luxury IMHO.
I notice, to my astonishment, that the Epilog 2 is in the list of speakers to be voted for, so I placed the first vote. Perhaps these guys know it well and I will be lucky enough for it to be SAMmed eventually. I certainly did not expect it so I am tickled pink.
Devialet Original d'Atelier 44 Core, Job Pre/225, Goldmund PH2, Goldmund Reference/T3f /Ortofon A90, Goldmund Mimesis 36+ & Chord Blu, iMac/Air, Lynx Theta, Tune Audio Anima, Goldmund Epilog 1&2, REL Studio. Dialog, Silver Phantoms, Branch stands, copper cables (mainly).
