You should e-mail db don about the Tru Tec amps, as he used to be a dealer for them. Personally they sound very good with lots of headroom, but we are still rookies when it comes to sq.lol We still have an sh-1 left if you are interested.

 

didn't Richard clark say that the 'warm sound' tubes are know for was due to some sort of mid-rane distortion?

having heard the tubes, and Tru, plus owning Macs i'd say the fight is between the mac and tru. not enough listening time betwen the two to choose a clear winner.

otherwise, buy the TruButlerMac.

 

Tru makes some great crossovers.. a 2 way and a 3 way, as well as some killer amps. I know from experience that they over design their amps (experience as in I've been waiting on them to redesign a perfectly good amp so they can release it) Tru makes their amps to be bulletproof, and their warranties are great, recently they fixed an amp for the THIRD owner of that particular amp.

 

marco i compare my butler and my c7 a few week ago, personally i like the women vocal from the butler (soft and warm), but the sound from butler is a little bit too dull.
c7 on the other hand everything are soo clean and clear.
call me marco i got a few new amp that we need to try.

 

The 'warm' sound comes from a really low damping factor (like less then 10)...

you can achieve the same sound by putting a small resistor inline with your speaker.... (although I don't see why anyone would want to [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] )

 

Plow,
you got it! and hopefully you'll also have IT...
