Stereo amplifier failing bass frequencies at low volume
I've got a stereo receiver that's only about 15 years old that seems to have lost bass output at low volumes. The effect is similar on two different sets of speakers so I'm pretty sure it is the amp not the speakers.
The receiver has always been much more powerful than needed and I don't think it has ever been turned up much over #2 out of 20 on the volume dial. I'm guessing some transistor or capacitor has popped, but the frequency range seems OK when the volume is turned up over the #2 setting.
Is their anybody with electronics knowledge here that has any ideas on what might be going wrong? I suspect it will not be economic to find a service centre for stereo component gear to check it over.

Have a look for electrolytic capacitors with the insides trying to escape:

The tops should be flat.

If no one else has taken it, I will have a go at bringing it back to life. Only issue is it will be a couple of weeks before I can get there (live on Brisbane north side).
