Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard

My $3k NAD M3 started shooting sparks out the top and burned the shelf that was 8" above. Luckily I was home and not sleeping or the house would have burned down. If anyone has one of these I advise them to unplug it when not in use. I took it to two different repair shops and they said it would be about $800 to just get it running and there may be board issues. They advised not to take the gamble. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it?

Was it in use when this occurred?

I'd be fuming as much as the amp.
Will mention this on their IG or FB page.

I know someone that does component level board repairs, lives close to me in the central NJ area. If you like, I can pm you his contact information.
I've recommended him to several friends, he'll look at your electronic component and will only charge a fee if he's able to fix it.
He's fixed multiple things in the past - tv's, amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, radios, etc. - his shop is pretty amazing.
Hope this helps, Thomas Foti.
