Sherbourn 7/200a experience wanted

I am putting a HT together for a friend using a Krell HTS 7.1 and need a singlle 7ch solution.I personally also have a HTS 7.1 and have used a Sim Audio Titan(love it) but a budget factors in here.I can get a new Sherbourn for around $2200CAN and I am trying to seek some answers on these amps.Alot of info is 8-10yrs old.I was wondering:
-how is there sound(comparison)?
-problems that occured and warranty,how fast,issues,etc.?
-does the amp hum alot(transformer)?
-reliability?
thanks john

I've been running a 7/2100A for five years without any issue. It's a full bodied big sounding amp. It's the only piece of equipment that won't be replaced. Two years ago I sold my Anthem pre/pro and purchased a Pioneer Elite SC-07 receiver for the new codecs. As a pre/pro the SC-07 is very good. So one day I decide to unplug the Sherbourn
and try these ICE amps that a lot of people over at AVSforum are talking about. They are 140 wpc times seven. Before Heath Ledger says "I killed the bus driver". I realised how spoiled I've become. The 7/2100A is truly a great amp, and as Zephyr pointed out, customer service is first class.

Mclsound, you better find someone that owes you a favor.
This amp is 115 lbs. This was like lifting my wife up 5' on
to a shelf that was the same size as the amp. My buddy is
definately holding on to this favor card until he really needs me.
