MA2275 Issue need some advice

Looking for some advice. McIntosh MA2275 integrated and the left channel sounds dirty, at higher volumes the bass sounds staticy and broken, almost like a blown speaker. Using B&W 805D's, swapping the speakers the problem is still there but on the other speaker so its coming from the amp and not the speaker. Do the tubes need replacing?

Yes, it could be a tube but I have also heard a bad resistor sound like this too.

G5flier, I would recommend using the augiogon system including feedback and dispute process to get it right with you and the seller. Based on what you have said, the repair should be the responsibility of the seller or you should be able to return it for a full refund. I can see a tube getting damaged during shipping but it doesn't seem like this is your issue.
