We are told that the Telos 8800 is Goldmund's response to the growing demand for increased capacity and power. Fitted with the new Goldmund MKP silver-metallised polypropylene film cap capacitor, this is said to ensure a supremely stable supply for the Mosfet output stage and guarantees optimal stability even for demanding 1 Ω loads.

Measuring 113x42x47 cm (HxWxD) and weighing 265 kg per unit, the Telos 8800 features four separate electronic boards to maximise system stability. By adding four pairs of output transistors per side, a total of 16x transistors per unit, Goldmund says that this significantly elevates performance compared to the previous T5500 NG model.

Moreover, the capacitor bank has been extended to include eight massive capacitors of 15,000 uF each, guaranteeing high energy storage and a more efficient power supply thanks to a power transistor that keeps the amplifier running effortlessly.

The Telos 8800 has been engineered with a fully analogue circuit, ensuring maximum thermal security and short-circuit protection. It promptly shuts down if an issue is detected, protecting your speakers and amplifier. Additionally, the new top-of-the-range mono amplifier sports a significantly larger heatsink that enhances heat dissipation and preserves electrical conductivity. This, claims Goldmund, results in impeccable audio quality.

Naturally, Goldmund uses all-gold metal terminals and screws; meanwhile, the casement's seamless construction features the emblematic rock texture on the sides and no visible screws aside from those on the rear connection panel that features an AC GND binding post, an AC earth binding post, two output binding posts, a Lemo 4B speaker output, RCA unbalanced input, XLR balanced input, Digital input and output RCA connectors, and an RS232 command connector.

The Goldmund Telos 8800 retails in the UK for £350,000 each (£700,000 a pair).
