I have an old Marantz sitting in the garage, think it is 185W a side, one day it was shaking the windows and walls and the next it went silent. I have checked the fuses.
Anyone know of a good amp doctor in L.A.?
Technically the living room has been taken over by a Pioneer 7.1 receiver and the garage is running a Luxman that took the place of the Marantz but I hate to see the Marantz sitting there rotting away.
TIA

I have a guy in west Phoenix. Feels like I've driven to LA by the time I get there from my place.

Hey JR,

To hijack your hijack of Ian's hijack, err, wait... :D

Just FYI, there is a guy with 2 older Crown PL4s for sale in OKC. He has 2 available listed at $300 each on Craigslist here:
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ele/5327591453.html

However, he also had them up on eBay recently, starting at $200/each with no bids here:

Crown Amplifier Crown Power Line Four Amplifier | eBay

Crown Power Line Four Amplifier | eBay

If you could negotiate a deal at $400-ish (or less) for the pair via local pick-up with cash, it might be worth the drive.

Very decent 2ch amps that can be bridged, which would give you plenty of clean power. You would be at 530w @ 8Ω bridged for each amp.
Or, you could pick up just one and still be at 165w x2 @ 8Ω or 265w x2 @ 4Ω (they are 4Ω stable in 2ch).

Thanks for the head's up. The Craigslist post is gone, so maybe the amps have been sold. I'm not sure I would have bought them anyway, although having one as a spare isn't a terrible idea. Those are on the verge of being too old and I'm not sure they were really all that wonderful in their day. They had their pluses, but I suspect there are better amps out there for my $200, give or take.
