Yes it can be fixed. Nobody can tell you what it will cost until they have looked it over. It's certainly more than just a capacitor. Those just filter the signal. They are not critical to the operation of the unit. However they blow due to voltage spikes, which indicates a much larger problem with the amp that you cannot visually see.

in my opinion i would invest in a new one. theres so many unprofessional people that will work on that amp and it might work for a little but then it would fail again!

If you do your research (especially on here) I'm sure you can find a satisfactory and long lasting repair.
