Aragon 4004 mk2, should I buy?

My son in law is inheriting my old Magneplanar 1.6 loudspeakers, and recently while visiting a newer acquaintance of mine I discovered he has a Aragon 4004 mk2 amplifier he wants to sell. Thinking that it would be a good amplifier for the Maggies (and my son in law just starting out understandably doesn't have a lot of spare money) I asked him what he would be willing to sell it for, he replied $450. That sounded like a good deal, and he let me take it home to check things out. My son in law is coming over this weekend and we will hook it and the Maggies up to my Oppo BDP-95 and see how things sound.
So my question is does this seem like a good option for my son in law or should we look at something else?
Thanks in advance for any opinions or advice.
