Blew a channel on my Bryston 3B

Ok, so I just put my system back together after about 15 years in storage and being completely off the audiophile wagon.  After about a week of using the system, the dreaded red light of death shows up on the front panel with a blown fuse.  Changing the fuse was futile, on channel gave up the smoke.

So, I was going to eventually replace it anyway, as it always sounded a bit hard with my Apogee Duetta II's. Though I'm in touch with Bryston about the possibility of having it serviced.

So looking around, is it me or have prices gone insane?

Anyway, I'm willing to spend up to around $1500 for a replacement amp. I don't really want to deal with tubes, though I doubt I can find any tube amp in that range that'll drive the Apogees.

I'm open to suggestions as what brands to look for.  I'm also open to fairly recent used models.
