PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo


What would you consider the best option of these 3 to build a reference level system.
Any experience with these amps would be appreciated.
I'm also considering higher end gear but if budget does not allow i will stick to these 3 options.

Seemingly no love for the Modwright KWA-150SE amps in bridged mono mode. FWIW, i’ve heard the original KWA-150 & thought it had was very well engineered and finished. It had "plenty" of power as a single stereo amp to drive even a moderately difficult load in let’s say a medium size listening room. And the KWA-150SE has even more control. Run in bridged mono mode, the Modwright amps should be able to drive all but the most amp-crushing loads.

Sonically, I found the Modwright warm and tube-like. It has excellent resolution & inner detail, and as a result is one of the few amps i’ve heard at that price point which sounds musical at low listening levels. I think these amps are underrated, perhaps because they’ve been around for a while.
