Power & Purity
The Telos 8800 is one of the world’s most powerful mono power amplifiers. Featuring an advanced multi-board architecture for enhanced system stability, it redefines high-performance amplification with unparalleled power and groundbreaking innovations.
At the heart of the Telos 8800 lies Goldmund’s proprietary Telos® amplification technology, first introduced in the 1990s and continuously refined to remain unmatched in the industry. Operating in Class A/B, this highly sophisticated circuit combines the linearity of analog components with a high-bandwidth circuit, delivering pristine sound quality with ultra-low distortion and superior efficiency.
Power with Finesse
Telos® amplifiers exercise uncompromising speaker control through:
Massive, clean power delivery, ensuring high-fidelity reproduction without distortion.
Active driver control, preventing unwanted sonic artifacts and distortion.
This precise control is particularly critical in low frequencies, where woofer diaphragms are prone to excessive movement, increasing the risk of unwanted vibrations. Telos® technology virtually eliminates harmonic and intermodulation distortion by enhancing the linearity of each amplification stage. A higher-bandwidth circuit minimizes group delay distortion, preserving timing accuracy and sonic coherence.
Amplifying Excellence
By isolating high and low-current circuits, Telos® amplification prevents feedback and interference, while improving Mechanical Grounding™ for superior signal purity. The advanced output impedance reduction drastically enhances micro-dynamics, eliminates excessive woofer overshot in high power conditions, and prevents unnaturally “boomy” bass, ensuring absolute sonic transparency.
Lift You Higher
A perfect amplifier must deliver exceptional sound quality even at its very first watts—a rarity among most amplifiers on the market. However, the Telos 8800 defies this norm. Despite its powerful output, it delivers outstanding performance right from the first watts of operation. Whether at whisper-quiet volumes or full concert intensity, Telos® amplification ensures the signal remains pure, dynamic, and distortion-free—offering an emotionally immersive listening experience like no other.
Lab-Tested, Real-World Approved
Many amplifiers excel on paper but fail to deliver a truly immersive listening experience. Goldmund’s amplifiers, however, go beyond conventional benchmarks, ensuring flawless technical performance and superior real-world sonic results.
Unlike conventional designs that perform well with resistive loads in lab tests but falter with real-world passive speakers, our amplifiers maintain identical performance whether tested in a lab or connected to any loudspeaker. This ensures absolute control, precision, and faithful audio reproduction.
Form Meets Function
Reflecting the high level of its technology and design, Goldmund uses gold-plated copper 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.
Seamless Aluminum Chassis: Precision-crafted from micro-blasted aluminum, the Telos 8800 features a sleek, joint-free design with minimal screws, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic perfection. Available in both grey and black finishes.
Superior Electromagnetic Shielding: The robust aluminum construction effectively blocks EMI, preserving signal purity.
Optimized Heat Dissipation: The 15mm-thick aluminum panels and 40mm-thick radiator chassis function as an integrated passive heat sink, effectively dissipating heat and maintaining optimal thermal performance.

Built to Perform
Heavy-Weight Structure: Designed for ultimate stability, the amplifier’s robust chassis and specialized resin-coated transformers effectively minimize mechanical and electronic vibrations, eliminating unwanted resonances that could compromise sonic purity.
Conic Feet Technology: A key component of Goldmund’s Mechanical Grounding™, these specialized feet evacuate vibrations to the ground, preventing resonance buildup and ensuring absolute sonic clarity.
Gold-Plated Copper Components: Screws, connectors, and heat sinks are crafted from gold-plated copper to optimize conductivity, minimizing signal losses and ensuring pristine transmission. The gold-plated reflects Goldmund aesthetics and elegance creates a protective coating for the copper.
Next-Gen Power Supply
The Telos 8800 surpasses its predecessor, the Telos 5500 NextGen, by introducing an advanced power supply system (PSU) with fully customized power capacitor banks engineered to Goldmund’s exacting standards. This includes:
- A new soft-start system for seamless power-up.
- Enhanced energy storage for consistent power delivery.
- Virtually zero contact resistance in circuit boards and cabling, eliminating power loss.
- Stable power output unaffected by mains voltage fluctuations, ensuring optimal amplifier responsiveness.
Its silver-metallized capacitors provide an exceptionally stable power supply for the Mosfet output stage, guaranteeing performance stability—even under demanding 1Ω loads.
Cool Under Pressure
The Telos 8800 is one of the most powerful Class A/B linear amplifier in the world. To support its high-power output, it has been engineered with a fully analogue circuit for advanced thermal security and short-circuit protection. Telos 8800 safety protection circuits are designed to ensure reliability and longevity, safeguarding both the amplifiers and the connected speakers.
Advanced Safety & Thermal Measures
- Massive cooling surfaces: Two oversized heat sinks integrated into the side panels provide exceptional heat dissipation.
- Automated safety protocols: If temperature thresholds are exceeded or a short circuit occurs, the amplifier automatically enters protection mode, pausing operation until normal conditions are restored.
Tailor-made components
Beyond capacitors, numerous other electronic and mechanical components have been meticulously designed, engineered, and fine-tuned exclusively for our amplifiers. Each of these custom-built components plays a crucial role in achieving our unmatched audio performance. These proprietary elements are developed to Goldmund’s unique standards and are not available anywhere else on the market, ensuring a level of precision and sonic purity that sets our amplifiers apart.
A Listening Experience Beyond Compare
At Goldmund, technical perfection and an extraordinary listening experience go hand in hand. Our amplifiers are designed not just to measure flawlessly, but to sound breathtakingly real. By refining both the science and the art of sound reproduction, Goldmund amplifiers achieve an unparalleled fusion of precision, dynamics, and emotion—setting the new gold standard in high-end amplification.
