| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Taylor514,Thank you for letting me know about your issues. It is a concern. Fortunately, I have my MAC integrated which will keep me happy until the Modwright returns. Unfortunately, Dan's in Washington state and I'm in Pennsylvania so, needless t... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Wyred,I haven't decided yet. I just recently auditioned the Luxman SQ-N10 tube integrated amp. Only 10W per channel at 8 ohms but has plenty of power thru my 87db, 8 ohm speakers. A very nice amp for the price but didn't WOW me enough to settle on... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Wyred,I don't know. I haven't looked at the footers. Also, by the way, I haven't made a decision on which integrated to keep. Still auditioning. The Class A Luxman 550AX is a fine sounding amp and my second ever experience with a Class A amp in my... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Wyred,I still own the Modwright but am listening to a used McIntosh MA6300 Integrated at the moment. Also, I will be auditioning a Luxman 550AX next week. I have not settled on the Integrated I want to keep. I hope to make a decision soon but I wa... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Taylor514,About 140 hours at this point. Not much more change from the 100 hr. level. It is a very natural sounding amp. I really like it. | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Hgeifman: I decided on a Modwright KWI-200 integrated amp for $5000.00 brand new. I paired it with an Ayre C-5XEmp which is used with low mileage. The Modwright has a little over 100 hours on it so my true evaluation remains to be heard. So far I'... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Digsmithd,Yes, I do like the Ayre. I've only had it since Thursday so limited listening. I haven't tried any Hi-Rez discs yet but CD listening sounds a little more refined than the Opus 21 player. Clearly more dynamic. | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? I received my Kwi-200 (brand new) about a week ago and it has close to 100 hours of burn-in. Initial thoughts were similar to Teajay: Grainless texture and warmth, tube like. More thoughts to come, but first... The Kwi-200 is being compared to my ... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Digsmithd,Thanks for your posts. My unit will be arriving Friday. I'm looking forward to hooking it up then burning it in. | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Jriggy,I let the modded BDP-83 break in over 300-400 hours. Perhaps "soft" is not the right word. "Laid back" or "relaxed" might be a better description which is good or great for some. I'm trying to find that middle ground where the sound is not ... | |
| Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences? Mcondon,I previously owned a Modwright Tube modded Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player. I tried to like it but just couldn't connect. I found it to be a little too soft & uninvolving. I'm not totally sure but I just may be a SS guy. I was considering a... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Thank you everyone for your responses. I read some similar threads and Accuphase seems to be the most favored although Luxman should be shown no disrespect. I got a quote on a new Accuphase e-360 for 10 grand. Whew, I certainly can't afford a new ... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp Brawny,I read an article which tested the Yamaha and rated it's actual output at over 100w @ 8 ohms. You are correct, it's not that much difference in actual loudness compared to the s80, maybe 1db more but what I'm hearing just may be the simple ... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp I received the Yamaha A-S2000 integrated. I've been breaking it in the last 2 days. Sounds great out of the box. It is a Class A/B amp and it does provide more punch & dynamics which make it sound stronger than the Class D amp.I will be compar... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp Thanks Cellorover! I have considered the speaker cable and it may be a synergy thing. I just ordered a Yamaha A-S2000 integrated amp which is class A/B. I'm very curious with the pairing of the Opus21 CD player and class A/B amp with more power th... |
