Axpona 2026: Rhythm Distribution to Debut the $790k/pair Goldmund Telos 8800 Monoblock Amplifiers

Here’s the answer to a question that came immediately to mind after I saw that photo of the Goldmund Telos 8800 Monoblock Amplifier–44.48″.

That’s how tall these monoblocks are and here’s the answer to question number two—1400 Wrms on 8 Ohms per monoblock from “the Mosfet output stage, guaranteeing optimal stability even for demanding 1 Ω loads” making it “one of the world’s most powerful mono power amplifiers” according to Goldmund.

You can see and hear the Goldmund Telos 8800 Monoblock Amplifiers at Axpona 2026 in the Utopia Lounge paired with the $510,000/pair Marten Coltrane Quintet Extreme Loudspeakers.

I’ll be there.
