Hi everyone,
I have a Hafler xl 280 amp and hafler preamp. I bought it years ago, but haven't listened much in the past few years. Anyhow...its seems that one channel went out on it recently...now I can't seem to get any sound out of it. I checked the fuses and they were ok..also check wires, etc. You could get a little distorted sound out of the right channel if you turned the volume all the way up...but that's it. Is this worth fixing? If so...where do I take it? Is there any other used amp selling for pretty low that is a bargain to replace this?

I'd check all of the fuses with a continuity checker including the speaker fuses. I can't remember, does it have relays on the outputs?
Also, check the filter caps. I've owned 4 Haflers that only needed new filter caps. If the amp has been sitting a long time, it's not unlikely that they are bad. You might get by with reforming them.
