Eagle 2a

About the Eagle 2a

The Electron Kinetics Eagle 2a is a solid-state stereo power amplifier designed by John Iverson. It delivers 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms with a power bandwidth extending from DC to 200 kHz and a peak output current of 50 amperes. The amplifier features a high signal-to-noise ratio of over 100 dB and an input impedance of 100,000 ohms. It operates in Class AB mode and is capable of driving difficult speaker loads with ease, producing a sound that is fast, clean, and powerful. The Eagle 2a is noted for its tight and well-balanced bass response, good harmonic contrasts, and a soundstage with very good imaging, although it can sound somewhat aggressive depending on the system components it is paired with. The amplifier uses discrete parts and includes a bias circuit for optimal transistor operation. It has two sets of 5-way gold binding post output connectors and RCA phono female input connectors. The unit measures 18" x 10" x 6" and includes large filter capacitance of 160,000 microfarads for improved bass and amplifier control. The Eagle 2a is no longer manufactured but remains respected for its dynamic performance and reliability.
