Goldmund Telos 7 NextGen Integrated Power Amp Announced
Goldmund has just announced its Telos 7 NextGen integrated amplifier.
The Swiss high-end audio brand proudly states that its Telos 7 NextGen is one of the most spectacular integrated stereo power amplifiers it has delivered. As it is set to replace the highly regarded Metis 7, it does have its work cut out.
Producing 190W at 8 ohms, the £9,500 Telos 7 NextGen integrated promises to drive any high-end passive stereo speaker system with ease. With a claimed frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz, unloaded: +/- 0.5 dB, Goldmund says it will provide energy as well as a spatial, clear, and detailed sound image.
Under the hood, you will find the latest enhancement of the manufacturer's 32-year old circuit which, it boasts, has made a few generations of audiophiles consider Goldmund as the master of power amplifier design. Naturally, several R&D developers have added layers of subtle evolution to this schematic, building one of the longest continuity stories in audio design.
The 44 x 16.5 x 40 cm (WxHxD) and 25 kg case offers a wide range of digital and analogue source inputs including a 384 kHz/32 Bit depth, DSD over PCM USB, Toslink Optical and S/PDIF and RCA.
Its simple user interface comprising of a volume dial and source selecting toggle switch should make operation as uncomplicated as possible.
Price and availability
The Telos 7 NextGen should land in the UK by March 2020 and will carry a £9,500 price tag.

Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
