While I haven’t heard the Modwright, I did own a 350a Ref.
I felt the Belles, while very powerful, had a somewhat clouded midrange, and laid back top end. Then one day, playing at a moderate volume, the 350a turned itself into an arc welder.....full on flaming meltdown.
I called and spoke to Belles. Zero support, no boards or parts available. Not even a "sorry to hear about that", not much of a response at all. Just, "nope, we don’t have boards or parts, buy a new amp". Not bashing Belles at all, just relaying my story.
I much prefer "the McCormack sound" of a standard DNA 125, and even better, a Platinum upgraded 125. Much cleaner, clearer(?) sound, but granted, not the immense power reserve of the Belles.
