Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ???


Curious if anyone that has owned this preamp if they could shed some pros and cons on the Modwright. I am looking to introduce one with my B&K 200.7 reference power amp and my Pioneer Elite VSX94tx Surround Sound Processor. My SS amp gives out 200 / 375 wpc into 8/4 ohm and I am looking to make my speakers sing a bit more than my SSP allows. Although my speakers are 4ohm Tyler Woodmere II's I was hoping that a Modwright tube preamp would do just that.

Let me hear the news...good or bad

Mofi...What speakers are you experiencing this wonderful sound with??? Got any leads on a good venue to obtain some of these Holland 7119's???
Any of you know about the longevity of the tubes for this particular model??? Curious to know of the time and if you prefer one type over another since only a few are available to be switched out.
Mofi..It also appears that the Amperex Holland 7119's are tall. Is there a height issue with these tubes when the cover is put back. I have read somewhere that once of the tubes is taller and one might have to cut holes in the lid to accommodate. True???
