Joule-Electra preamp/Modwright amp combo?

I just got a Modwright KWA 150 solid state power amplifier and am considering the Joule-Electra LA-150 MKII Signature Edition to use with it. Would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried this combination or a Joule-Electra preamp with a similar solid state amplifier.

I am also considering one of the Modwright preamps which are designed to work with the Modwright amplifier, but the Joule-Electra fascinates me.

Thank You

Modwright KWA 150 is fine power amplifier for right speakers and I am sure you will enjoy it many, many years.

Regarding preamplifiers, both Modwright and Joule-Electra are simply, IMHO, in different classes. While Modwright preamp will serve you well and deliver all kind of signal (loud or not, bass singer or cowgirl singing) correctly, with J-E is different, entirely different picture. You are grabbed by music, you live within music, you can't stop listening to the music...etc. My friend own LA-150 Signature Edition while I owned LA-300ME (now I am in heaven with "450") and sound-wise both "150SE" and "300" are very, very close. "300" has more finesse...but it should for almost twice the price.

" What amplifiers do you and your friend use with the Joule-Electra preamps?"

I use Spectron monoblocks because I have "Sasha" speakers - most power hungry in Wilson line of speakers and the combo is FANTASTIC. One of my friends has MBL-101E, another Apogee Scintialla - all needed hugely powerful amps.
