New Goldmund Telos 670 integrated amplifier

by | September 2025

The latest addition to the Goldmund electronics range, the Telos 670 is more compact and affordable than the Telos 690, without compromising on the quality of its components or its musical performance.

With 215 watts per channel into 8 ohms in class AB, this little Swiss amplifier still packs a punch, losing only 35 W compared to its bigger brother. It retains the same solid aluminum chassis, available in gray or black, with discreet heat sinks on the sides. Compared to the larger model, its dimensions are just 0.5 cm shorter in height and 5 cm thinner in depth, with the advantage of making it easier to fit on a small hi-fi furniture.

Identical to the Telos 690, the front panel retains the two large buttons around a central red LED display topped by a gold plate engraved with the brand logo and the name of the device. The rear panel is also identical, with eight inputs, the first three digital (USB Audio, optical, coaxial) and the other five analog (all RCA as standard). For USB, compatibility with Apple and Linux is immediate; it only requires the installation of a driver for use with Microsoft. Thanks to this input, files can be decoded up to sample rates of 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD128 (we will ask the engineers why DSD256 is not supported).

Designed to be as linear and stable as possible, the Telos 670 has very low resonance, intermodulation, and harmonic distortion levels, with the aim of providing the smoothest possible sound reproduction. At 24 000 €, it remains in the realm of Swiss high-fidelity, but is positioned at a third less than the Telos 690, becoming the manufacturer’s new entry point into the amplification market. We look forward to listening to it soon to discover all its merits and tell you more.
