Cambridge EVO 150 opinions?

Have a chance to buy a Cambridge Audio evolution 150 in state from different island which save a few hundred on shipping

 Curious about any owners or prior users in put on reliability,  sound as a D amp and general usability. Gets good ratings, gas good power and runs 2 sets of speakers all of which I like. Only had 1 CA piece a 740 cdp years ago which sounded great but had issues with the cd door assembly. After 2 trips to LA for repair over 5 years I boxed it. No chance to hear b4 buying.

I have had one for a few years and love it. Listening to it as I type. It’s a Swiss Army knife of good sound, compact and can drive most any speaker well. Running with Sonus Faber Concerto Domus currently, also Ohm Walsh and KEF meta. Highly recommended. The published reviews cover it nicely.

Mapman, thanks for the response. Sorry for my delay in feedback. Guy sold it before I could jump in on the action. I was reading reviews and was thinking to go for it but someone on Kauai beat me. So, back to trying to find an answer. The hurricane winds a few years back that hit Lahaina blew up the grid on my island and the power cycling took out an amp in my office. So, the idea to trade up my main system amp and put that old integrated in my office has been behind all this research. But, the need for something that handles multiple pairs of speakers has really been a bugaboo. I tried a switch but it impacted the sound so I am stuck. I know I will solve it eventually, may have to wait for the next vacation for me to hear something. Mahalo and Aloha for your response.

Evo 150 handles multiple outputs:  2 pair of wired speakers, headphones, bluetooth to wireless bluetooth speakers, so it got that part well covered.
