Levinson 23 or 331 - which one would you take?


Hi all,
If you had a choice between a Mark Levinson No. 23 or 331 amplifier, which one would you take and why? Please assume aquisition cost is the same.

Thanks!

I have a Parasound A21. It's the 1st expensive amp I've owned and I really like it. I have an opportunity to buy the Levinson 20.5 mono's for a good price. Anyone out there with experience with Levinson of this era. Sure, they're certainly from a different price class but they're old and I'm worried about having to replace thing's like the cap's which, I'm told, wear out after about 10 years. The electolyte wears out or something. I heard this when researching Krell amps on the Gon which, if you look, often advertise being serviced if they are older.
