Replacing Amp Help Needed

I had an Episode ea-amp-2d-150a amp. 2 channels X 150 watts each that my audio installer used to allow my Sonos unit work with a 3rd speaker. I don't believe they make this amp anymore or don't sell to non installers. Can't locate my installer and was hoping to just swap it out myself. The amp stopped working due to a surge issue that I believe I have fixed, but now I need a new amp. What is the simplest and cheapest amp that you believe would do the trick for powering a third speaker using Sonos? Thanks for any ideas.

If you want truly plug-and-play there are a couple of them on eBay for <$150.

Thanks. Probably the safest idea. I was wondering what else might be out there that could be better, less expensive, or smaller footprint. This thing is pretty big in a tight space and I've always wondered if the units are all this big, and whether this thing is over featured/priced for my needs.
 
Without knowing exactly how the amp is being used (is it being turned on by trigger? Analog or Digital input? Did they use the binding posts or the connector for the speakers? etc.) it's hard to suggest a replacement.
 
Actually your questions make it clear that I should probably go with your original suggestion of just replacing it with something I know will work as setup. Thanks.
 
Yeah, AV installs are really hit or miss. Sometimes they're super straightforward, but I've also seen some that are completely inscrutable.
