What dose 350k buy one for 2-Mono Block Amps
Wavac Audio SH-833 & SH-833MKII
Just to look for fun, about 99% of us, or for those with some very serious disposable income for 2-channel, have a look see..
Many testers, mag writers, & listening highend gods, consider them to be the best Mono Amps in the World, period..

Dealer & more info:
More info with the MKII version down the page
Crazy  cash, $350.000 a pair, but hey they fly in and set them up/dial in/etc for you once purchased...

For that price, they better throw in "Mowing the lawn", "Laundry", etc. while there.
Too much power is never an overkill!

They are proof that if you take garbage, make it look pretty, and charge accordingly, people will buy it.

Never heard them or seen them in person. Heck never even heard of the brand. The price alone is insane and just proves that someone somewhere is willing to pay for them.
Throw in High End mag praise/glory and add a sprinkly of BS and there you go.
I'm sure they have to sound decent or better, ghesh (for goodness sake they damn well should for the over-priced $$$ charged)!
But, "~{pretty garbage priced accordingly }~" is a bit of a strong statement/opinion Chu.
==>
Care to comment further on that statement, or just let it stand..?
Reading your many differnt posts and linked stuff in many of them, you know much more about exotic gear than I ever will.
==>
If I ever had that kind of money to spend freely, it sure as h+ll would not go their!!

I had this to say sometime back on this very same amp. In some parts of the country, I could buy this
a house with a garage to put it in, and still have money left over to buy a pretty kickass HT system. Plus I wouldn't have to have that a$$hole come over and set the thing up. |

Wow missed the Stereofile review and your linked HTF-post and running $350,000 Wavac Lab SH-833 prior thread.
I see allot of things in my future, BUT them Amps ain't one of them.
Agree with you and wished I'd have seen your post threw a search to save the wasted bandwidth on something already posted and discussed...
The posted Amps, 10th anvers addititon SH-833 & SH-833MKII is just a pathecticly waste of $$$ IMO..
Like your thinking and right behing you on a kick car, killer garage, and plenty of moola left for a kick ass Stereo/HT..
Thanks for the link/s

I'll say this: if that deailer manages to sell a pair, they may be able to afford a decent web site.

I thought it was just my very slow connection, (Webt-tv ugg), but alas, it's just a sucky a** site alround.
The Dealers web site that is. 
Selling electronic gear/cables & only the ~{Best in High End}~,  & on/threw a just awful site. I'd buy from them in blink of an eye, NOT..! 
This just keeps getting better and better.. 
Cheers

I would need five mono's for my little setup. Does anyone know if there's a discount if you order more than two?

Jack - please be very careful with such posts. If Wavac or that dealer ever got so much as a sniff that someone posted "I need five" there could be serious consequences...
Ya know, anyone making or selling something like those things might not be the most stable brick on the block. If they ever heard or thought that they could move five of those puppies (and I'm kinda sure there's no quantity discount on stupididity), the results could be disastrous. They might be overcome & have a seizure, or they might start to drool at the prospect of actually selling something (and retiring) and they could slip in their drool, throw out their back, and wind up suing you for pain & suffering. Or in the worst scenario - they could show up at your door!
Even given the price of petrol these days, I'd save my pennies for the car. And I don't "need" two or five of those...
