Thoughts on a SH-1 (Sledgehammer)?

Have the opportunity to get a really good deal on a Tru SH-1. I want SQ, is this am only good for SPL? I thought Tru was geared toward SQ, and wanted thoughts/opinions before I took this route.

Edit: I realize many people come on the board and ask these types of questions, and you just point them to the list and say go research. I have been researching for a while and this deal is kind of falling into my lap; but before I drop two grand for amplifiers (this will be my first system), I would like the blessing of a few members that this amp (if treated correctly) will last me for a while and will give me the sound quality that I am after.

This amp is good for both.

Amazing amp!

can you afford it? if you can hell yes. TRU has amazing customer service and stands by everything they build 100%. if it ever fails you, it's because the owner has misused it, or its just worn out...which will take a lot of bullshit to screw up.

jszar... can i afford it (new it was 3500 I believe?) I wasnt even looking for one. I was looking for the hammer (lil' brother to the sledge), and stubled on a guy that was thinking of selling it and is gonna make me an awesome deal on it. So it would be huge overkill for what I am using if for now, but I figure pick it up now and plan for something bigger down the road.

Also talked with John Yi, of Tru Technologies, and he told me if I had problems to send it in and they would take care of it. Then, John Fairchild (sp?) ended up calling me back to get some more details and told me a little more on the amp.

Getting excited now.... :excited: :excited:

exactly my point. TRU will take care of their customers. i just dont understand how you could get a deal on one of those...the value has to keep very well on an amp like that.

after this weekend, when the deal happens, I will tell you more specifics on my awesome deal, as I am currently in negotiations...

I dont know what new pricing is on these. But on the old Beyond Audio board I seen some used ones go for $1,100, 1,000 and even $750...

Just a FYI
