Need to replace my Rotel RMB-1095 . suggestions pls

I have not been actively following trends/products for awhile in the audio/home theater and my Rotel RMB-1095 amp just lost the left front channel so I am looking for some advice on a replacement. I have bought and sold on Audiogon though not for years ...

I was happy with the performance and sound of the Rotel.  I would like to spend <2k
My current audio setup is:
Marantz AV7701 pre-amp, Aerial 7Bs, CCB3, 5Bs and a Martin Logan Descent with Transparent speaker and interconnect cables

I use my system for TV/Movies and non-critical music enjoyment .. 

Thanks !

I sent it to Desco. The front left channel board was fried.  Since some of the transistors that needed to be replaced could not be identically sourced, I had them replace the same transistors on both the left and right front channel.  They repaired the power amp board and removed and replaced old glue on both boards.  

I bought the amp new in 2003 so apparently it has served it's life.

Ended up getting a AVM60 that was just listed here and a BNIB MCA 50.
