Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated?


My local dealer has a McIntosh 6900 integrated amp for sale from original customer.  I'd like to know if you would be comfortable buying a model that is 12-14 years old and if SS equipment can lose SQ over time?  The price is right and I've wanted to try McIntosh.  Not really a post about the love or hate of McIntosh, but whether vintage gear can still be quality.  I'd like it to be my last Integrated purchase.  

On a side note, the price is right, but that said, for about $800 more, I could get into the MA7900.  What are your thoughts?

wow, never thought about replacing old capacitors. Is that an issue that will effect SQ?
Go with the MA7900 I had a 6900 and  a MA 7900 the sound quality is much better.
I bought a used MA6500 a few months back from Audio Classics.  I have no idea where that would be compared to the 6900.  Make sure the amp has the autotransformers as those are reason for the full and lush McIntosh sound.
