purchasing used Ayre V-5xe? good purchase?

Hi All,

I have an opportunity to purchase one of these for around 2k USD, around 15 years old

currently using an anthem mca 225 gen 2 which puts out 400w at 4ohm and 600 at 2oh

I had the AX7e integrated and loved it but found that it's 120w was just not quite enough

worth trying this amp?

also, anybody know if the v-5xe is 2ohm capable?

thanks in advance
