New Arrival

[jimbones]

Proud poppa of a 17x17x6 and 45 lbs 100 watt power amplifier. Modwright KWA 100SE.   / Haven't had much time with the new arrival yet but seems to be very nice, will provide details later.

Seconded. As I former owner of several Modwright modded CDPs and two pre-amps, I've been wanting to hear a Modwright amp for a while.

Thanks. The other amp that was suggested was a Pass, but I don't like that the amps run hot and they need to placed outside a rack. Also I never heard one that I really liked. They were super clean, but lifeless, dry. The MW has glorious midrange. More fleshed out sound. IMO better than a Pass.

Hey Jim, enjoy. I think someone is hanging around mazz and Bill too much.
    Anyway hope it works out for you.

Clearly an excellent piece that flies way higher than its price-point. What's next on your audio "To Do" list?
Meanwhile, enjoy the new level of sonic satisfaction that comes from intelligent design and the proper implementation thereof... Kinda cool when you really CAN hear what those differences reward you with?!

Excellent choice. Dan makes one hell of an amplifier (as well as other pieces). Im sure you'll be very happy with it for many years.

Thanks all. I have not enjoyed my system like this since the 1990's. I purchased this based on the rave user reviews (because the magazines cover most of the mass marketers brands) and recommendation from lissner. Besides a great sounding piece, I like the fact that it is not a common brand. It defies everything we (as audiophiles) have learned is necessary when buying an amp; that bigger, heavier, hotter is better. Well, this amp is conservatively  rated at 130 wpc and runs cool and I don't need a crane to lift it.

My next upgrades will be digital rca cable. Any suggestions?

Yes I have to convince you to sell it to me  That one sounded good in my system.

I gotta find an old e-mail chain on when I bought it, so I know what $$$ I have in it.  Keep reminding me!

Sucks getting old, doesn't it?
