Repairing older amps

A very general question: Are there certain brands that are easier to keep going, either because the companies provide support, or the designs are simple or well-documented? Or could a good tech repair just about any amp?

I'm looking to spend about $500 on a used SS power amp delivering about 100 wpc, and am considering older models of brands like Classe and Acurus. Any suggestions appreciated.

I like CJ support. They fix all their stuff. I had a crackle in one channel of an MF-2500 in 2006. They quoted $84 parts/labor for the repair (bad cap) I got a price quote at the same time to upgrade it to a 2500A and they said they would waive the repair labor if I did the upgrade.

I think their labor rates are fair. There are a couple of SS for sale here now but at a few hundred more than you want to spend. May be worth it.
