Joule-Electra preamp/Modwright amp combo?

" 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.

I thought of trying the Modwright KAW 150 with my Joule LAP-150 mk2 just never did it but the match looks good on paper. The Joule is a wonderful preamp and with the SS amps I've tried the sound benefited from the Joule's tubes while remaining fast and full, the sound wasn't slow and/or bloated. The mk2 Sig might be even better. I've been happy with sound of the 150 with my Joule VZN-160's I never felt the need to "upgrade" to the Sig!!!

Thank You very much for your appraisal of these two preamps. The Modwright/Joule-Electra pairing seems to be exceedingly rare - or those with it cannot stop listening long enough to visit Audiogon forums. What amplifiers do you and your friend use with the Joule-Electra preamps?
Thanks

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.
