Troy Audio Achilles





























































The Achilles is our reinterpretation of a loudspeaker whose sound quality is not compromised by any size. We have incorporated the incredible 212 driver, developed several decades ago by Altec and now improved and manufactured by Great Plains Audio as the 212-8A, into a cabinet large enough to deliver an unprecedented quality of bass response.

Our designers worked hard to create the best crossover, and for this they used only Mundorf Supreme Silver Gold Oil coils and capacitors.

The Achilles embodies the idea of “less is more.” Its captivating and exuberant sound surpasses the perception of the physical space it occupies.

In Greek mythology, Achilles represents lightness and strength. We couldn’t have chosen a better name to describe the sound of this loudspeaker, which will take your breath away.
