Does this sound like a good deal?

I found a guy selling a YAQUIN" MC-13S he wanted 600$ but I got him down to 400$ it's never been used just taken out of the box for photos. I have seen nothing but excellent reviews on these but non the less would like some more opinions. I don't even own a set of speakers I wasn't even intending on buying this but I thought the 400$ mark was a steal considering the reviews I have seen. So even after I get it it will be a paper weight till I can afford some speakers after I catch up from the 400$ I'm about to spend. I thought maybe some words of encouragement could be nice haha. Does anyone have any speaker recommendations?

I don't think that you will find better sounding amp under $1000 than that one. I got mine for $300 with broken tubes and volume knob, after retubeing and other fixes the thing sounded spectacular. I bought elac uni fi's used on ebay for $300 and that was my first system, for me match maid in heaven. Many amps and speakers later I still have the same combo in my second system, it does some things better than anything else I tried so far.

Good luck with your quest.

   Great! Some audiophiles swear by tubes, although I for one also like the sound of Krell and McIntosh solid state amps.

   I am happy for you on a good deal - enjoy your new find...

@gongli3 - maybe buy a tube hybrid amp design! LOL

   Will look into that in the future - I do like the warm and romantic sound of tubes but also fast and powerful sound of SS, so what you say makes sense...
