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?

Where are you? Pro-Tech Services here in Washington, D.C. does great work, They know how to ship these beasts & can advise you.

I've been nothing but pleased all three times I've visited (twice with the same amp - but I dropped it. They didn't even laugh at me).

If it's a unit you really like it's worth repairing. I personally look at equipment that is broken, worn out or out dated as an excuse to upgrade. If your not to attached to your old amp, consider selling. It's not really a big loss if you got enjoyment from it. Allow someone else to fix/upgrade. It might be what they want to start on. Either way best of luck.

If it's cost effective to repair the Ayon amp then I'd do that. During the repair process you'll have a reasonable amount of time (with no pressure) to make sure that you're happy with your new amp. When the dust settles, sell the amp that you no longer want or need.
