Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A

Hi all!
First let me explain that I am currently using a Perreaux 3150B amp in my system to power the woofer columns in my RS 1-B speaker system. I previously had a Perreaux 2150B amp and before that a Bryston 4B. With the help of you all and especially Sean (thanks Sean) I decided to get the Perreaux 3150B. I bought it used. When I hooked it up I got a hum (not audible when music is playing) through the right column. I was also, however, getting a funny noise (sounding like sneakers of a gym floor?)every once in a while and when I powered it up. I brought it in to AnalogiQue for repair but they found nothing wrong. By the way...with my Perreaux 2150B back in place I get dead silence. So I'm thinking the amp most go (maybe).

Someone has an Eagle 7-A amp for sale....I tried looking up reviews but could not. Anyone here have experience with it.

I would also welcome comments on the following amps I am considering:
Bryston 7B
Threshold Statis 500
Krell KRS 250
Rotel 1090

Thanks again all for your help and support!!!

Rwd: Hogging this thread ? It's YOUR thread !!! : )

As to your problem fixing itself, that is simple. Your 3150 overheard you discussing it being replaced, so it decided to straighten up and fly right. This is common practice for electronics when they are about about to be replaced or go in for service. I run into it all the time.

Quite honestly, i have NO idea why this stuff happens. It is possible that something else in your system or outside of your system was aggravating the situation. Something as simple as moving a cable, altering the quality of connections, etc... could have solved your problem. All i can say is that you should enjoy this while it lasts. It could be forever or you could be back to tracking it down tomorrow. Sean

RWD,

All the great things mentioned about the Eagle 7A are true. If you are lucky enough to find and purchase one, you can get it modified to the latest upgrade standards by John Iverson's right hand man, Russell Sherwood at Electron Kinetic Service Center (EKSC). Not only does the power get boosted 440 X 2 into 8 ohms, but the sonic signature is one of accuracy, precision, PRAT, dynamics to die for and extreme clarity and control. It's an amplifier, after upgrads, that you will happily live forever with and never let go of. Email me if you want further info or just call Russell at EKSC. Here is the company's URL:

Eagle amps are alive and well, thank you!!!!!

Best Regards,
Steve
