WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5


This amp is probably 30 years old. There is one I can grab for 2500 bucks. Good buy? Too old? What do you goners think?

The operational condition of the piece should be verified. I had one and enjoyed it very much. It had one failing that I only discovered after upgrading to a much better speaker- it didn't throw that 3-D image people refer to as a soundstage.  But IMO it was powerful enough to drive anything and
brought out textural information a lesser product would lack. It's also 
a classic looking amplifier that is well built without flashy cosmetics used
by some (otherwise) great companies. You know what I mean. The company has had it's ups and downs, but in the end I would say it's stilla great choice regardless of all the jillions of other products out there.
