ModWright KWA 100
My experience this far with the KWA100 SE is that it has tight, fast bass with punch 
Modwright 100 - Specail Editon
This is my 1st foray into separates - purchased the Modwright LS100 preamp and the KWA100 SE power amp. Rather than install the new issue Sovtek GZ34 & EH 6sn7s that came with the LS100, I went with NOS Sylvania GZ34, and Shuguang Black Treasu...

Reynolds853 - in the event you haven't come across this review of the Orion with comments about the Spirit 1http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue50/ayon_orion.htm 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
Realize you're looking for Spirit 3 versus 2 owners input, but what the heck here's some info anywayHave the Spirit 2 with Black Treasure KT88s (like the 3), and also have NOS RCA black plates in 2 rear 12au7 positions and NOS CIFTE Mazdas in the ... 
Ayon Spirit-1 compared to Ayon Orion
I have the Spirit 2 , the amp is extremely well built, no mechanical issues , and very musical. Reynolds853, I'm guessing the Orion comes with Gold Lion Reissue KT88s, the Spirit 2 did; the Spirit 3 comes with Shuguang Black Treasures. The Gold Li... 
Your thoughts on these different tubes?..
I've had a Rogue Cronus Magnum with the EH KT90 to my ears a transparent tube with good definition top to bottom. For me the best new issue KT88 is the Shuguang Black Treasure - dynamic with punch and excellent across the frequency range. Likewise... 
Getting started w/ tube equipment
A U.S. built integrated - Rogue Audio Cronus - base model using EL34s 55wpc, or Magnum model ($400 more) 90wpc - using KT 90s - easy to bias, musical, well built, excellent customer service. Also, with socket savers you can use KT 88s or KT120sSet... 
Tube amp stopped working
did you put the el34s back in and have the same problem? 
Reflections of another year in Audio
My 15 year old son said to me sarcastically about 2 months ago, what's going on you haven't bought any hi-fi equipment recently; I responded that I was very content with what I had. But with not knowing what to buy myself for Christmas I decided i... 
Primaluna Prologue Two
Take this for what it is worth as I don't have your amp - to my ears the Gold Lion KT88s in yours are more musical than other new issues with the exception of Shuguang Black Treasures - more dynamics (have had both in my Ayon Spirit)For 12ax7s mig...

Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Ayon Spirit 2 tube integrated with Black Treasure KT88s; Modwright LS100 preamp & KWASE power amp 
Tube favorites for Modwright LS100?
I have about 100 hours on the LS100 which I understand requires at least 400 hours of break-in to reach their intended sound. Have liked the sound of the NOS Tungsol and Sylvania as they and the amp have been working themselves in, but decided to ... 
Upgrade from Jolida 302B A Rogue Cronus ?
Haven't heard the Jolida so can't compare for you, will simply state that until recently I had a Cronus Magnum 90 wpc versus the base model 55 wpc with the same speakers, good synergy. Just some other fyiMagnum comes with KT90,s but can use the EL...
