Repairing older amps

Classe factory support for old models is fantastic!!!!

Factory repair out of warranty is very costly reguardless of what youve been told,I know a gentleman spending over 2 grand to fix his Classe.Not too mention shipping cost.If you have a general repair guy find out his bench rates and always have the gear checked out before buying.You may find its now worth the effort.I would buy something used with remaining transferrable factory warranty or save your money and buy new.

I would consider Odyssey amps;maybe even a phone call to Klaus as he might have some B stock he would sell at a reduced price;this is what he did for me on a deal for mono extreme SE's.Odyssey products have a 20 year warranty that is transferable;a great selling point for when you want to upgrade.

Older Electrocompaniet amps are also solid and great performers.

Thanks everybody for these helpful comments. Odyssey looks interesting--I will definitely look into these amps.
