Goldmund Telos 690 Integrated Amplifier

$0.00

A World of Sonic Possibilities

The Telos 690 integrated stereo power amplifier was conceived to provide an audiophile-grade amplification option that embodies Goldmund’s iconic sound signature. Designed for those who seek exceptional performance from their analogue sound system in simpler system setups, the Telos 690 meets the highest standards in a simplified configuration.

The Heartbeat of Innovation

What sets our amplifiers apart is our proprietary Telos® amplifier technology, first introduced in the 1990s and continuously refined since. Telos® amplification operates in Class A/B, utilizing highly linear analog components combined with a high-bandwidth circuit.

Your Gateway to Sonic Bliss

Telos® amplifiers exert precise control over speaker drivers, delivering clean, ample power while preventing unwanted noise that can compromise signal integrity. This control is especially critical in low frequencies, where woofer diaphragms exhibit greater movement, increasing the risk of distortion and unwanted vibrations. By drastically lowering output impedance, Telos® enhances micro-dynamics and prevents large woofer overshoots during high-power conditions—eliminating uncontrolled bass and maintaining absolute sonic transparency.

The Hi-Fi Standard

Unlike many amplifiers that lose clarity or introduce subtle distortion at lower volumes, Telos® ensures sound remains perfectly transparent, detailed, clear, dynamic, and virtually distortion-free across the entire frequency range. Whether playing at a whisper or full concert intensity, it faithfully reproduces the purity of the original signal—without compromise. Telos® significantly reduces harmonic and intermodulation distortions by optimizing linearity in each amplification stage. By isolating high and low-current circuits, it prevents unwanted feedback and interference while improving Mechanical Grounding™.

Audio Mastery in Every Note

The amplifier features our new power supply unit (PSU), redesigned for greater efficiency, higher power output, and a new power supply board providing greater energy reserves. A smooth transient response between low and high sonic levels enhances dynamic range and allows precise handling of rapid volume changes. Capacitor power banks were specifically tailored for stereo amplification.
