Hello all,
I need some advice from people who know Marantz sound...
I picked up a Marantz 2238b from CL ($225) recently and it has some issues.
Channel 1: Left side seems to have more power output than right side
Channel 2: Left side sounds extremely scratchy through the speaker (jbl e100) and the right side does not play sound at all.
When toggling between the two channels, Channel 1 sometimes cuts out completely.
I know it isn't my speakers because they ran fine on my other receiver.
I have little to no knowledge on how to fix it, but there is a guy about an hour away that I contacted who would fix it for $150. Is it worth putting additional money into or should I cut my losses?
I am really stuck on finding a Pioneer sa8800, so I do not want to sink too much money into this receiver.
Thanks in advance.
