MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIERS
Achilles
Class A Triode · 8W per Channel · 300B Single-Ended
About the Achilles
The Achilles monoblock amplifiers are the ultimate expression of single-ended triode amplification. The 8W per channel output requires high sensitivity loudspeakers, and rewards the listener with an unsurpassed audio experience that only the legendary 300B tube can deliver.
The triode Class A configuration of the 300B, combined with the high linearity of the preamplification stage using a 6SL7 and EL34, offers extraordinary musicality and detail retrieval. Each monoblock features its own dedicated power supply for true dual-mono operation.
Handmade 8-layer output transformers reveal every nuance of your music. All components are through-hole, hand-soldered for maximum quality and longevity.
