what to do with a stereo that needs repair


Hey All, long time lurker. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with an Ayon Spirit II that needs to be repaired. The left channel no longer works. I brought it into a local tech who is not sanctioned by Ayon and he wont touch it. I called the official repair shop and the tech there was awesome, but he has a backlog and wont be available to sort out the issue for 5-6 months. I decided to buy another amp and move on from Ayon. Any suggestions on what to do with this 80lb door stop? I dont want to stick another person with the problem but at the same time if the person has the patience they might be rewarded with a nice sounding amp. What do you think would be fair? Should I just pitch it and be done?

Did you try:  https://www.usatubeaudio.com/warranty/  in AZ.  I do not have experience with them.  They are a Ayon dealer.  They advertise  a 30 to 90 day turn around unless special parts are required.  Minimum charge $145 per hour. Repair bulled at $145 per hour plus parts.  

theservicedepartmentct.com is an authorized Ayon service center as they advertise. They recapped my Krells.   Excellent quality. 8 months waiting list.   3 weeks turnaround.  

Also try theanaloguestore.com/service-dept/ in NC or benchtech@highendaudiorepair.com in NY   

As other members have stated … nice amp, get it repaired if not too costly, and keep or sell it.
