My current home cinema audio setup consists of BW605s2’s for front left and right, an LCR6s2 for centre and DM601s2 for rears coupled with a Yamaha RX-V2500 receiver.
I recently noticed my receiver is getting very hot, I assume this is down to a failure with either the internal fan or the circuitry the fan is connected to. As of yet I am not aware of any other issues with the amp, but obviously there could be more wrong which I am just not aware of.
It’s been quite some time since I purchased the above equipment so I am not up to date on latest technologies. I have also fallen on hard times financially and therefore I am looking for guidance as to what would be the best course of action to take.
I am very happy with my audio setup, I love the power it can produce and have no quibbles with the sound quality.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you look to replace the amp with a cheap second hand one, or would you get the amp serviced and repaired?
Having never had an amp serviced and repaired before, I have no idea of costs involved and as I am not up to date on current equipment and technology I have no idea what would be an equivalent amp to purchase for replacement.
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated as my sound system means everything to me and the thought of having to down grade quality of sound or power output due to financial issues is really concerning to me.
Thanks
David
P.S. ATM I have a table fan next to my amp which I use to keep it cool ever since I discovered the heat issue. I have also downloaded the service manual and I am strongly concidering fixing the unit myself after seeing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr3SmvF759U what are your thoughts?
