Modwright KWA 150
One last thing...I am still deciding my speakers, but can it work well on full range speakers that are rated down to say 87db at 4ohms. In a medium size room. I have read speakers like this need 200 wattsthanks

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 K...

The only other amp I am considering in my part of the world is the Cambridge 840W which has been highly regarded. So any comparisons would be good.The price on the Modwright is going up 20% after this last unit is sold so I am wondering if I shoul...

One final question on this amp before I go ahead and purchase - how good is the bass authority and speed and tightness compared to other solid state power amps in its class

Although I just spoke to the dealer, seemed to suggest it would sound better on a very clear open speaker than a speaker with a dark character.So probably a good fit on the Marten or Focus HD or Audio Physics.

I live in a small market outside North America, but I have tried the physics and focus HD extensively and can happily live with either.Daedulus not available in my marketGiven what I have read on Modwright it looks like it would work well on most ...

Looking into speakers at the moment...Maybe Legacy Focus HD or Audio Physics Tempo 25's or Wilson Benesch Curve or Martern Miles IIIWould you say vocals are very natural sounding or do they come through with some colouration?I have been using a Mo... 
Classe CAP 2100 vs Moon i5.3
The i5.3 is dual mono....are you sure you are comparing the right amps?Moon's are renowned for exceptional build quality as well 
Sonus Faber Liutos
Heard them side by side. Cremona M, which is about double the price, is better in every dimension - bass, midrange and tweeter. Whether it is worth double is up to the call of the buyer. 
PSB Synchrony One vs Two
Any takers on this? 
Dali Helicon 400 mk1 vs mk2
There is a Stereophile review on this and it discusses the changes. I personally found the Mk1 to sound too chesty in the midrangehttp://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/308dali/index.html
