Bryston vs Modwright?

I'm looking to replace my old power amp with a new one, in the $4500-5000 range; I'm running an ARC ref 5 SE that I got from a friend, and will be driving Dali helicon 400 mk 2s. I have been thinking solid state to complement the ref 5 SE, and have been exploring the Bryston 4bSST2 vs the Modwright kwa 100 SE. Anyone have experience with either or both of these amps?

Clayton Audio is a good recommendation, but I don't know if 50 wpc will be enough to drive those speakers.
I'd look into a Wells Audio Akasha, or a Innamorata if you can swing it.

I would go with the Modwright if only using your two choices. The Bryston would probably be too much yin with the ARC preamp and Dali's both being on the bright side of the fence. You need some yang to balance your sound.
