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 !

The repair lasted just over one year. Lost the left front channel yesterday so it is time to shop for something else. Not willing to spend another $1k and have to listen to movies thru the tv speakers for 40 days.
might also upgrade my 7 year old Marantz pre-amp
Sorry to hear of your problem. Would it be possible to purchase a 2 channel amplifier and use the Rotel for the center and surround speakers adjusting output levels from the A/V preamp?
possibly but at this point I am planning to replace both the AV7701 and the Rotel amp.  The AV7701 is an older processor and I want something that supports all the current formats.
That amp, the, "RMB-1095" had a bad "Protection circuit" topology and they, "Rotel" re-designed that entire circuit. Complete with a "New and improved" board a few years after the debut of the amplifier line. 
 I lost a channel in one a few years ago and my "Amp guy" found out about it on a phone call, while ordering parts from "Rotel". So he replaced it also for another $350. Which was the cost of the upgraded protection circuit board + shipping, two years ago. Did they look at this when repairing your amp? Was it mentioned? I think in total it was $680 including a new power supply as well to repair. Which was what goes apparently when the orig. protection circuit fails.
