repair my Marantz receiver or buy something else?

65.201.111.79

I have a 6 year old Marantz 5.1 receiver, forget the model number, but it was about $1000 new when I bought it as part of a complete system 6 years ago. It has a dead right-front channel. The dealer gave me an address in upstate NY to send it to for repair; not going to do that. Found a local repair place who said I would pay $95 for diagnostic and then if I wanted the repair done the $95 would be applied to the repair cost. Also have Marantz DVD player, Sony WEGA 50" TV, Totem Dreamcatcher surround speakers. Nice basic system. I am very much a two-channel guy and not very well versed on surround. I know how to put everything back together if I re-install the Marantz, may have a little trouble if I replace with something else. So, should I fix the receiver, or just buy something new? Don't think I want to spend more than about $700 if possible. Thanks, Jim
