Forgot to mention I tried the Meridian 557 and did not like it.
When I added the Legacy power amp 330W unit to the Simaudio integrated (in pre-mode), using the Legacy Focus HD, the difference was only in more bass grunt.
When I added the Modwright KWA-150 at a friend's place to the Simaudio integrated the improvement was beyond belief!!! even using my Simaudio as the pre!!!
Unfortunately I was not able to demo the KWA-150 against other power amps so any comparisons would be useful
thanks again
