I recently had an amplifier valued at ~2500.00 that needed repair. Bill Thalmann quoted me a repair price of 1500.00. I weighed the options and decided to sell the amp back to the manufacturer for a loss. It was a tough pill to swallow but the amp was 25+ years old and it seemed like the best course. I didn't find fault with Bill's assessment, it seemed fair to me.
I also had a pair of Canary Audio monoblocks a few years ago and one blew an output transformer. I was quoted a price to fix the one amplifier that approached the resale value of both amps. Not to mention a round trip from the east to the west coast. I went the same route that time too. Just part of the cost of being in this hobby. Win some, lose some.
