We had a storm last Wednesday that killed our power a few times. The next day, I noticed that I was not getting any sound out of my center channel speaker. I hooked up another speaker to the center output on the receiver, and verified that it was indeed a problem with the receiver. I had a $10 power strip that was supposed to protect from surges. Maybe it would've been worthwhile to shell out a few more bucks for a better surge protector...
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows how difficult (or expensive) it would be to fix something like this. I didn't know how common it was to lose just one channel.
The other 4 channels work fine, and I have an old receiver rigged up to handle the center channel for now, so I will just have to do some calibrations to level-match the two receivers at a few different SPL's (75 dB, 70 dB, 65 dB, etc.). I really don't need the center channel for music or TV viewing, so I'll just make due for movies and multi-channel music, but if it's a simple $50 repair, I'd be willing to get it done.
Thanks for any advice.
