We are proud to share that the Goldmund Telos 670 integrated amplifier has been named a 2027 Editors' Choice Award winner by The Absolute Sound, in its November 2027 issue.

While The Absolute Sound (TAS) uses its March issue to highlight dedicated, single-purpose listening rooms, the November issue focuses specifically on shared spaces. This category celebrates high-end components designed to deliver reference-grade performance in main living areas, open-plan spaces and media rooms.

The Telos 670 was built for precisely this. It unites Goldmund's ultra-high-end Swiss engineering in a single, beautifully sculpted chassis that replaces bulky multi-chassis stacks without compromising sound quality.

Late-night listening

Many amplifiers lose dynamic range and tonal balance at lower volumes. Goldmund designed its wide-bandwidth Class A/B circuit architecture to keep harmonic and intermodulation distortion near zero regardless of playback level. The goal is rich, full-range micro-dynamics even at whisper levels, so you can listen in a living room with family nearby.

Control over the bass

Goldmund gave the Telos 670 dual 300VA (volt-ampere) toroidal transformers and a high damping factor to keep firm control over speaker diaphragms. The aim is to tame difficult bass loads and prevent woofer overshoot, for tight, articulate bass that fills a large living space without boomy room interaction.

Swiss minimalism you can live with

Swiss-made from micro-blasted, joint-free 10mm aluminum, its sleek case doubles as a heat sink and electromagnetic shield. Goldmund's proprietary Mechanical Grounding feet are designed to drain micro-vibrations out of the chassis. The result is a clean, architectural centerpiece that adds to a room rather than cluttering it.

One box, every source

With a high-resolution built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) alongside five analog RCA inputs, the 670 acts as a single-box control center for streamers, TVs and analog sources.

Goldmund was founded in Geneva in 1978. Explore Goldmund at Rhythm and find a Rhythm dealer to hear the Telos 670 in a room like yours.
