Goldmund Audio Telos 8800 Amplifier

Goldmund Audio have unleashed what they claim to be their most powerful amplifier to date, the new flagship Telos 8800 Power Amplifier !





The new Telos 8800 amplifier is one of the most powerful amplifiers in the world, featuring 4 separate electronic boards to maximise system stability. Telos 8800 sets a new standard for performance, with unrivalled power and revolutionary innovations that redefine the listening experience. This latest amplifier features a silver-metallised MKP polypropylene film capacitor, providing an exceptionally stable power supply for the Mosfet output stage,  guaranteeing optimal stability even for demanding 1 Ω loads.



The Telos 8800 is the world’s most powerful Class AB linear amplifier, delivering an impressive 1400Wrms of power with just 1% total harmonic distortion (THD) at 8 ohms. Due to the high specification and power of the amplifier, the Telos 8800 has been engineered with a fully analogue circuit, ensuring maximum thermal security and short-circuit protection.




To dissipate the heat generated by the power supply inside the amplifier, the sides of the Telos 8800 have been meticulously designed as heat sinks. Benefiting from a second heatsink, the amplifier guarantees optimum cooling performance, leading to exceptional audio performance.




Reflecting the high level of its technology and design, Goldmund uses all-gold metal terminals and screws, in order to improve and guarantee optimum signal transmission and to minimise potential signal losses. A sharp and narrow amplifier for better conductivity.
