Goldmund Release The Telos 7 NextGen Integrated Stereo Amplifier
Telos 7 NextGen is the new integrated stereo power amplifier from Goldmund.
The telos 7 NextGen circuitry is the latest enhancement of Goldmund’s 32-year old circuit. Several R&D developers have added layers of subtle evolution to this schematic, building, say Goldmund, one of the longest continuity stories in audio design.
Analogue & Digital
The amplifier has multiple inputs and can connect to a wide range of digital and analogue sources. It also has a simple user interface. The Goldmund Telos 7 NextGen will be available in February/March 2020 and the UK retail price should be in the region of £9,500.
