Slightly limping HK Sig. 2.1 Amp FS

Hvrnaut

I have an HK Signature 2.1 amp that has a bad (blown?) channel. It is the front right, if that is important. It appears to be shorted out, as the resistor(?) is “burnt” looking . I absolutely do not know how to fix it, and was hoping someone here in Polk land would like to try his or her hand at it.

I considered sending it off for repair, but thought I would just pony up for a new B&K, Anthem, or similar amp. (Recomendations appreciated. 200W min.) Seems like the logical step to take, as I will one day replace my HK AVR-525 as I work my way up to all separates. Just trying to get my whole system to match my great all Lsi 5.1 (ok, the sub is an SVS).

I disconnected the bad channel, and the other four channels work perfectly. For the time being, I am running my mains and center off of the Sig. and my rears off of my AVR.

FYI, I purchased this amp on ebay in May of this year. Paid $350.00, shipped.

If anyone is interested, I would take $125.00 for it today. The shipping would be $35.00 or actual, whichever is cheaper. Thanks, and let me know.

I haven't taken pics yet, but I will get a few up quickly. The case and faceplace are in great shape.

Edit, missed your second post on cosmetic condition.

Hvrnaut

Here are some pics of my Signature 2.1 Amp. As you can see, it is in great shape overall, with a slight scratch on the topcase (pic 5, I think, right next to the right case screw)

The blown (burnt) channel is shown in one of the close-ups. It's on the left, and it is easy to compare it to one of the good ones to the right of it in the photo.

Unit is plugged in and turned on in another pic, and you can see the blue glow of the Signature logo. Very nice touch, actually.

Hold the phone...
To everyone who has expressed interest, thanks. I need to hold off the sale of this amp until I secure another. Yep, I jumped the gun, a little. The primary reason is that I am afraid of damaging my speakers.

Right or wrong, it is a worry that I have, and while I respect (and rely on) the opinions here, if it were to happen, well, it would be just me out there, wouldn't it?

In any case, once I get setup with a new amp, I will strongly consider putting it back up for the same price. Thanks.

What a D!@k tease !

Hvrnaut

Ha! LOL! I know I've never been called that before!

Seriously, I am trying to work out the details on a new amp. Bidding now on the bay for a Rotel 1075, but you all know how that goes.

Also, I am looking at other alternatives for my system, i.e. monoblocks for my mains, etc.

Again, once I get a replacement amp, this thing could well be back here for the aforementioned price.

NO retractions, I promise! Thanks again to all who replied.
