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!!!

I had several of John Iverson's amps including the Electro Research and the Eagle 7s. This was a long time ago, however, and regardless of how good I found them then, they are probably surpassed today. For example I use a Citation 7.1 four channel amp on my subwoofers. I bridge the left and right two channels. I had actually looked for my old Eagles when I needed a subwoofer amp, but could not find them.

John's amps are rather straight-forward so I think someone competent in circuits could repair them.
