Classe M1000

I have a chance to buy a Classe M1000. I have heard it and it sounded good. However I am not able to find any information on it online.
Can anyone tell me about it and what, if any, problems I should look out for?

Also my other option is an upgraded Mark Levinson No.23. Which would be a better option?

Do you really need all that power? If not, you can save some money and buy a smallar Classe with the same sound signature. on the otherhand, if you need all that power, then the M1000 are hard to beat.

Great amplifiers. They need about 60 minutes from switch on to reach their cruising speed, but can drive anything.
Considering age, I would replace the blue electrolytic capacitors in the amplifier boards with modern ones and enjoy for many years!

Hey guys... thanks a lot for your input.
I auditioned the Classe M1000 with a ML 38S pre... the sound was great.
However the guy also had a Goldenote Demidoff and that just blew my mind.
Going for that now...
