Avantegarde Duo repair.

Thanks in advance for any help. I have a beautiful pair of automotive blue AG Duo’s (not the 18ohm version) and both my SUB225’s have failed. I actually have 4 SUB225’s.  One still works fine, one blows a fuse immediately and the pair that were in use are not powering up but the fuses are fine.  Happened last week. 
 

I live in the Chicago NW suburbs. Any recommendations for a quality shop to diagnose and repair?

Additionally does anyone have an opinion on value as is for someone with the knowledge to repair?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

Knowing that Avantgarde would probably charge a ton for a repair, I'd look into a plate amp replacement.

Isn’t Bob @ Rhapsody in NY a dealer?  I know he was and should have some info even if he dropped the line.

Fixing 4 amplifiers may be costly and the 225 was one of the reasons I sold my Duos it never sounded as a whole. Maybe consider having a pair of bass horns built. I used bass horns with my Duos they became a far more enjoyable loudspeaker.
