OK, I took both amps to the "local" authorized repair station, only 1 hour and 45 minutes away, and after a long wait they told me Marantz had some sort patent fix for whatever it was, and they'd do it to both amps, but they had to wait for parts from Japan. To make a long story short, they fixed one amp to their satisfaction, and I picked it up. It worked fine here. They could not fix the other amp, so they sent it to the Marantz USA OEM, United Radio, in upstate NY. UR did their work and returned my amp. When I tried it, I could not get sound from it, so I phoned UR, got an RA label, and I packed the amp up again and sent it back to UR. Naturally, they could not replicate the fault; the amp worked fine for them from the get go. Just to be sure, they ran tests under load for a week, then they sent the amp back to me again. Now it works fine. There were no charges for any of the repairs, and Marantz paid for all shipping, . I paid for my gasoline.
The meters read the same now. The amps sounded great until 1 PM today, when the sound suddenly got a bone caught in its throat; the effing electricity!
