Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos

Has anyone heard these and/or compared to any other 6550-based amps of similar power (140 watts) range?

Plus the Music Reference is fully balanced design. The Music Reference is more transparent than the ARC VT100 MkIII and way cheaper to retube, plus you can try Kt88's or Kt90's to take it even a step further depending on what you like and system synergy.

Dopogue- in fact, have tried 845's before in the system, and liked them very much. A local guy has a set of J.C Verdier 845 monoblocks that I hear are very good... Cyto- Music Reference?? Don't really know them, but will look into it- thanks again everyone for the great responses!
