I have had my Sony TA-FB940R for over 12 years now, it's a really good amp (good review from what HiFi) back in the day.
however, it recently died and I bought a Rotel RA-10 for under $400 (Aus) a replacement. Also obviously a good amp.
But I recently had a hi if store said that they could easily fix the sony for around $100, which I will do as they sell for $350 here in Aus no problem.
so my question is which one to keep? which is the better amp.
The Rotel is 40W per channel, the Sony 80W. The Sony was more expensive at time of purchase. Does newer mean better or not so?
I like both amps really...but can't afford to hang on to both and not a lot of point as one just will not get used!
any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.
