ModWright Instruments KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier

Marek Dyba has posted a review of the ModWright Instruments KWI 200 integrated amplifier ($6500 with DAC and phono options) at High Fidelity. His conclusions:

“How does KWI200 sound? I would say, it sounds like… Modwright. What does it mean? Dan Wright’s amps are solid-states but they sound more like tubes, or maybe class A transistors. Which means they are very likable even for tube fans like me. There are some attributes of the sound that make that happen – slightly warm, rich and smooth midrange, punchy, well extended, but rather bit rounded bass, and last but not least open, detailed, strong treble, that is crisp but without any hint of risk of brightness (unless you play some poor recording of course). All way back to the top of Modwright’s portfolio, each amplifier seems to have the same set of attributes, adding only even more goodies on top, making sound more and more sophisticated, more liquid.”
