Experience with Modwright products?

Currently, I'm running in a Modwright LS99 preamp and KWA 99 monoblocks.  I have a dealer friend who wants them broken in or me to buy them or both. :)

Other than hearing Modwright products and briefly chatting with Dan at shows (he seems like a wonderful human and humble), I don't have any experience with their products. 

I thought my next move was going to Luxman, Allnic, Audio Research, or even a Japanese tube integrated.  Wow, am I impressed with this package out of the box. The linear Mosfet design with Class A up to whatever it is (say 25 watts) is really appealing to me. I run large horn loudspeakers. Just loving what I hear so far.

I have to imagine the products are built as well as they feel and service and relaibitily are stellar. Resale looks strong too. 

What experiences do our fellow 'Goners have with Modwright?  

Thank you all for your opinions and insight.

Just sold my KWA100SE to TMR a few days ago. Not because I didn't like it, only because I dread swapping it out with the tube amp each summer. It is a very nice,dead quiet, smooth, and powerful beast.Dan is real gentleman. I never needed service but have chatted with him about his hobbies - rescue dogs and he makes pottery.

I’ve owned a lot from Dan over the years. 

SWL 9.0 SE preamp (two of them)

SWP 9.0 SE phono

KWA 150 SE amps (two in mono)

LS 36.5 DM preamp

PH 9.0X phono

Modwright Transporter 

Modwright CXN V2

Modwright Analog Bridge

Modwright Ambrose A10 (only one ever made)

I even own some of his ceramics artworks.

Dan is an incredible engineer and a person of very high integrity. He is a major asset to this industry and our hobby, and I look forward to the great things he will continue to do.

I am now a dealer for some very high end brands, though Modwright is not one of them. I have no affiliation with Modwright outside of being a repeat customer.

A disaster. Guy is a charlatan.

Read my explanation of a simple transaction with him. He’s an abusive liar.

From your link:

:Please send it back and I will listen to the unit. If I find that the unit is as we sent it out, and it is
simply a matter of you not liking the sound, no problem. I will then gladly replace it with a stock
unit.
So let’s proceed with that. I don't want you to be unhappy with your purchase. I am surprised at
your listening impressions, but I also acknowledge that we all prefer different things.”

 

 He offered to replace it. Whats wrong with that ?

Have both the KWI 200 and the 9.0 Phono, which has had two upgrades.  Both are great pieces of gear.  The KWI 200 is tubey without the faff of tubes.  I know, I've owned Cary amps before. The Modwright is as good sound wise and rock solid. I highly recommend Dan's products.
