Goldmund Telos 4800 Mono Power Amp Released
The Telos 4800 is touted as a smaller, more compact version of Goldmund's 8800 luxury powerhouse.
Goldmund has another high-end amplifier to offer, the Telos 4800 mono power, which is almost half the price of the Swiss firm's flagship Telos 8800, lauded as one of the world's most powerful amplifiers.
The Telos 4800 offers a maximum power output of 1050 watts at 8 ohms and boasts ultra-low harmonic distortion of less than 0.005% across 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The manufacturer states that the dynamic range, measured at 117 dB with a 22 kHz bandwidth, “ensures that every subtle nuance of the audio is rendered with exquisite accuracy.”
So, it has the specs as well as the StereoLUX price tag. It also has Goldmund's renowned quality and typically Swiss attention to detail.
Under the hood, you will find Goldmund's proprietary MKP silver-metallised polypropylene film cap capacitors and a massive copper ground plane. This, we are told, ensures a supremely stable supply for the Mosfet output stage, guaranteeing optimal stability even for demanding loads.
The brand claims the Telos 4800 can drive even extremely low-impedance speakers without compromising distortion levels. The new monoblock's gain is adjustable in 3dB increments, allowing you to make more precise adjustments and ensuring synergy throughout your system.
You also get a decent array of physical connection options, including analogue RCA unbalanced, XLR balanced and digital RCA inputs alongside a digital RCA output, twin output binding posts and a single Goldmund speaker 4B-type connector. Additionally, the RS232 command and jack connectors for triggering enhance the amplifier's integration capabilities, making it ideal for sophisticated home audio installations.
The Telos 4800 is available in grey or black colourways. In both finishes, you'll find a golden inlay manufactured by the same company that makes the embellishments for Rolexes and Patek-Phillipe watches, which is an excellent bragging point. Although, the kind of circles one would move in would, of course, expect nothing less.
The Goldmund Telos 4800 mono power amplifier is available now for $260,000 USD per unit, so $520,000 USD for a stereo pair.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. 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.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
