LUXMAN M-117 any good?

I know nothing about luxman but I found this LUXMAN M-117 on craiglist for $400. Anyone know if these are good amps?

This power amplifier is the warmest ss amp I have listened to , this includes many m and l series ands , including their lab. reference series. Some are a touch more articulate but none warmer , like silk. I drive a set of Platinum Audio Duo's with this amp , really power hungry speakers ,and it is a magical combination. Not super fast on the attack , but you can listen to it forever.
