I wouldn't repair this amp for a "customer" and probably wouldn't waste my

can buy a 2000 watt amp brand new also made in China for around $300 US.
Someone brought me a used Crown Micro-Tech 1200 they wanted to sell for
$400.00 US and even though I am a big fan of Crown especially that series
I offered half that and they refused. I told them I can get 2000 watts
into 4 ohms bridged for 300 bucks. I used a Micro-Tech 1000 for my bass
guitar rig along with a BBE 383 bass preamp for 10 years worth of regular
club and party gigs without ever a problem. Here's a picture of it along
with 6 and a half feet of other gear I have in a rack.

I doubt it if as advertised it can "handle 2 ohms all night long"."Eeyore" <rabbitsfriendsandrelations@hotmail.com

Do you know what I mean by the "output Zobel network"?
A Zobel network is used for impedance compensation -- usually to make a
circuit look more resistive.
An amp with such a network at its output might very well be unusually
load-sensitive.
