Goldmund Telos 8800 Mono Power Amplifier
Reference Mono Power Amplifier • 1,400W into 8Ω • 2,400W into 4Ω • 3,000W into 1Ω • Class A/B • Telos Amplification
Complimentary White Glove Delivery • Travel Reimbursement*
The Goldmund Telos 8800 is a statement-level mono power amplifier engineered for loudspeakers and systems where extraordinary current delivery, control and stability are required. Each amplifier delivers up to 1,400 watts into 8 ohms, 2,400 watts into 4 ohms, 2,800 watts into 2 ohms and 3,000 watts into 1 ohm under Goldmund's specified IEC measurement conditions. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Built around Goldmund's proprietary Telos Class A/B amplification architecture, the 8800 uses four separate electronic boards, an advanced high-capacity power supply and extensive mechanical and thermal engineering. A stereo system uses two independent Telos 8800 monoblocks, supplied in individual custom flight cases. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Massive Power, Down to 1 Ohm
The Telos 8800 is designed for exceptionally demanding loudspeaker loads.
Output rises from 1,400W at 8 ohms to 3,000W at 1 ohm, with protection circuitry safeguarding the amplifier and connected loudspeaker under extreme operating conditions. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Telos Class A/B Amplification
Goldmund's proprietary Telos amplification circuit combines Class A/B operation with very high bandwidth and extremely low distortion.
The architecture isolates high-current and low-current circuits to reduce interaction and feedback, while Goldmund's low output-impedance design is intended to maintain precise control of the loudspeaker, particularly at low frequencies. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
600 Damping Factor
A specified damping factor of 600 at 1 kHz into 8 ohms gives the Telos 8800 substantial electrical control over connected loudspeaker drivers.
THD+N is specified below 0.005% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 30 Vrms output, with IMD below 0.01%. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Next-Generation Power Supply
The 8800 advances beyond the earlier Telos 5500 NextGen with a redesigned power supply using custom capacitor banks, silver-metallized capacitors, increased energy storage and a new soft-start system.
Goldmund specifically engineered the supply for stable delivery under demanding loads, including operation down to 1 ohm. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Analogue and Digital Inputs
The Telos 8800 provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue inputs, plus RCA digital input and output connections.
Gain is adjustable around a nominal 35 dB in 3 dB increments, providing additional flexibility when integrating the amplifier into a reference system. RS232 is also provided for control integration. Goldmund| The Art of Sound
Mechanical Grounding
At 265 kg / 584 lb per monoblock, the Telos 8800 is built on an extraordinary mechanical scale.
Its chassis incorporates 15 mm aluminum panels, 40 mm radiator structures, massive integrated heat sinks and Goldmund Conic Feet as part of the company's Mechanical Grounding approach. Transformers receive specialized resin treatment to reduce mechanical and electronic vibration. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Goldmund Telos 8800 at The Grid HiFi
The Goldmund Telos 8800 is amplification at a scale where the entire system and installation should be considered together. Loudspeaker matching, electrical requirements, source and preamplifier selection, power infrastructure, equipment support, cabling, room acoustics and final positioning all matter.
The Grid HiFi can design a complete reference system around the Telos 8800, including Goldmund preamplification and sources, reference loudspeakers, digital playback, cabling, power management, isolation and precision system setup.
At 584 pounds per amplifier, delivery and placement also require proper planning. The Grid can coordinate the logistics and final installation rather than treating a Telos 8800 pair as a conventional shipped component.
Complimentary White Glove Delivery • Travel Reimbursement*
Qualifying purchasers may receive airfare reimbursement for a private audition.
