| What could cause this amp to fail? Thank you all for your replies, this have been very enlightening. As I mentioned earlier, I'm new to the speaker world and know little about amp pairings, etc.I’ve decided to not go through with the repair since given what @8th-note, @mlieber507 a... | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? @ozzy62 The Hafler 9505 Transnova and Adcom GFA555 II come to mind, but like I said, I'm new to the speaker world and many people on this forum would probably laugh at those as being entry level. What would you consider 'legendary'? | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? @minorl I purchased it for $300 on ebay which included shipping and this repair would cost $450. But this discussion has cast plenty of doubt as to the competence of the repair shop. Especially since if I go through with it, he said it would end u... | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? @atmasphere I've tried it with both nothing connected to its output and with both speakers connected but no signal and it didn't click in either case. I haven't tried a single channel but since the repair shop is currently in possession of it I ca... | |

| What could cause this amp to fail? @atmasphere I did. I have some old PSB standmounts that I upgraded from and the amp had the same issue. Though I only tried the other speakers after the problem began occurring. | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? @ebm I've been on eBay for over a decade and never done that before and now never again! I guess I just felt like taking a risk. But for the carpet thing, they're floorstanding speakers, where else am I supposed to put them? Besides the guy I boug... | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? @atmasphere Interesting point. I'm starting to think that about him as well. The first tech I took it to thought it was a simple relay issue, replaced a single capacitor and apparently it had been working fine for him when he tested it. He said he... | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? Thanks everyone for your responses. @roberjerman, the amp itself is on a rack, not on the carpet, its the speakers that are on the carpet.@gregm I don’t know much about electronics, but all the research I’ve done has suggested that the caps are th... |
