I'm pretty excited. Today I picked up a Sherbourn 72100A Amp. I honestly thought my 85lb Parasound HCA2205a was a beast to lug around. The Sherbourn is ridiculous at 115lbs! So far, I tested it out on the RF-7ii's in the living room using only 2 channels of the amp. The Sherbourn has more bottom end than the NAD 2700 I'm currently using. The Sherbourn seems as warm sounding as the NAD and is very detailed as well. I'll be hooking it up in the HT next week to see how it sounds with the RF-83 system. Even though I doubt it will make a difference, I might use the extra 2 channels to bi-amp the RF-83's. Anyone see any problem in doing that? This will provide me with additional power should I decide down the road to move to a 7.1 setup. Due to my second row seats being very close to the back wall, I would probably have to go with inwalls for the surround backs. Sherbourn 72100A (200 x 7) Specs The 7/2100A weighs an astounding 115 pounds and features the world’s first seven mono block, seven toroidal transformer amplifier. This brute will output a massive 2.1 kW and comes with two power cords to ensure that you can pull all of the needed power from two outlets, which eliminates the need to install a special 20-amp circuit. Sherbourn uses only the finest components, including fifty-six bi-polar Mosfet transistors and has an over 150,000 microfarad capacitance. The rear panel includes XLR and RCA inputs, gold plated five-way binding posts and a low voltage trigger input. Unique to Sherbourn is our LDS, (Load Detection System) that allows the amp to sample the signal before powering up and will detect if the “load” is within safe parameters. 200 x 7 @ 8 OHMS (All Channels Driven) 300 x 7 @ 4 OHMS (All Channels Driven) Six of the Seven channels can be bridged to give a front stage output of 400 x 3 @ 8 OHMS and 600 x 3 @ 4 OHMS And as usual, here is some photos for your enjoyment.
