used rotel amp


I am wanting to purchase a used amp (that is about the same price as a couple refurbished parasounds HCA855 or adcoms 7300 with 1-2 year warranty), it is about 3 to 4 years old. It is a multi-channel amp that is thx certified. What kind of life would I expect out of a used amp? 3 to 4 more years? Are they expensive to repair?

I have a 20 year old parasound hca amplifier that still works great 

Heat is what kills electronics. 

I don't think you can go wrong with older quality equipment. 

Replace the main capacitors and enjoy
