Ecklers also sells amps. But they only carry the early version 84-89. They can be used but have to be rewired.

If your handy with a soldering iron (I’m not) there are online instructions to repair them yourself. Part 1, 2 and 3.

Thanks Hans,
Buying new ones would probably be the easyest, but not living in the US might prove a problem if it was to turn out one or more of the restored amps didn't work properly. This solution, with 4 new amps, is also more expencive than just replacing the whole system, and probably by far inferior.

I'd attempt a repair was it not for the circuit board being melted during the previous fatal failure.

32valvesftw,
This seems to be according to what I've read the last couple days. In short, Do not use 2 Ohm speakers on an amp not rated for 2 Ohms.

Fortunatly I found a set of these, unused, in the basement.

As well as a couple 4-channel amps, so I think I'll make an attempt on a complete speaker replacement.

Where do people hide the amp?
