try the speaker on the working channel, if it sounds good then you're fine, speakers are hard to kill generally. 170 is a good price for that, realistically it's about 2 hours work max and maybe 20 quid in parts but you're paying for the labour which is never cheap.
Dazaa-
Yeah I'm happy with the price.
I figured parts listed realistically couldn't cost much but at the end of the day the guys got to make a living.
For anyone in Glasgow who needs a hifi repair this is the guy: http://www.jslhifi.co.uk/History.html

Thanks dude, confusingly there were two moon amps with virtually the same name the older I-5 which I have and a more recent i5.
This is the one I've got https://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/620/index.html
Took it to a guy who does work for the moon distributor and got this email, "Unit has been inspected and requires following to be replaced in Left Channel
Audio Pre-Amp, Driver and Output Transistors plus Emitter Resistors, Safety Resistors and Feed Resistors. [ Transistors Short Circuit, Resistors Open-Circuit ].
Cost of Repair - £172.00"
No idea if that price is good or not but I'd told my self I'd be happy if it cost less than 200 to fix.
I don't think speakers are damaged. At least I fucking hope not. Switched cables at amp to eliminate it being speakers and it proved it was left channel.
Are speakers likely to be damaged? I think that the contacts of the speakers were touching each other unbeknownst to me when I powered up the amp.
