Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp?

Not much info out there in this amplifier. I was looking at this to do double duty with my HT system and a 2ch preamp w/ HT bypass and a DAC. Looks like a good amp, but there is very little info out there that I can find in terms of reviews or forum chatter.

Anyone have any experience with it? I am currently using a Lexicon 512NT, which is essentially a re-badged Bryston 9B-ST. Looking for a more refinement, and a little less fatigue on the top end.

I can't speak to the MET150 as such, but I also wanted to add a bit of warmth to my multichannel system, which I use for music, movies and TV. I recently purchased the c-j MET1 multichannel preamp, the companion piece to the MET150, and I love it. I'm using it with a Sunfire amp. No need for an HT bypass or any of that messing around. I imagine adding the MET150 would have a similar effect. I'd love to get one myself but I'm done with upgrades for the time being. Music is my priority and I let home theater take care of itself.

Well I have a Pass Labs X350 for the main setup and I have had good experience with CJ gear, hence the question. My goal is listen to music in both systems as some recordings can sound pretty good in a 5.1 setup (I do not intend to re-invoke the eternal discussion about 2ch or HT). AA is pretty much 2 ch but I may repost my question there.
