Hello all,

I'm in the process of simplifying my system for my wife so I'm getting rid of my 2 and 6 channel amps and buying a 7 channel amp, now that there are some good ones out there. The Sherbourn 7/2100 has been at the top of my list for awhile but looking around today I found the ATI 2007 and the Adcom GFA-7807. All are in my price range, around $3000, and the same 200 watts per channel and all have balanced inputs. What I need are comments from owners of these amps about how cool they run, are they noisy, whether they are neutral, bright or warm, how long the power cords are and any other daily useage items I should consider that pictures and websites don't tell. I do have local dealers for all three but will probably not be able to audition them in my home before I buy. It will be mated with the Anthem AVM20 and Diva Swan speakers. The speakers tend to be on the warm side in my room and in my opinion, so I wouldn't want an amp which tends to be on the warm side in the chain. Any comments from owners would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
