Testimonials (on all Modwright KWI amps)


"During the auditioning period that I had the ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier, I also had a wonderful selection of speakers in house such as the Aerial Acoustics 5Bi, Vaughn Speakers' floorstanding Barbera, the two-way stand mount Pinot, Reference 3A MM deCapo-I and finally my own pair of MG-1.6's.


I believe that Dan Wright has really "hit the ball out of the park" with his new KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier. Because of its build quality, handsome, physical appearance along with its beautiful rendering of the music's timbres, warmth and details without losing its punch or macro-dynamics, I would classify the KWI 200 as one of the best integrated amps on the market today, regardless of price.

Competition and Comparison
Based on actual listening experiences, the only other integrated amps that would sonically compare to the KWI 200 are in a higher cost category. These major competitors are the highly regarded Pass Labs INT-150 at $7,150 and the Simaudio 600i at $8,000. Both are reference level and offer great build quality and can reproduce the sound of music at extremely high levels of musical enjoyment. However, I believe that not only does the KWI 200 compete with these integrated amps, and it offers the same reference level in the area of micro-details and overall dynamics. In addition, it allows the listener to completely relax and emotionally relate to the music more than the other two integrated amps mentioned above."

"What I can confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt is that the beefier SE is the more nuanced faster nimbler performer. To my way of thinking, the $700 surcharge-a middle-of-the-road power cord upgrade perhaps in upper-crust audiophile terms-is ludicrously little for the very real sonic gains which move this amp onto a plainly higher plateau. These upgrades are more far reaching than suspected. On the most primitive side, they now make this 100+ watter commensurate with muscle-amp expectations for bass slam and infrasonic mining....For what is very little money, the SE transforms the solid and very competent KWA 100 into full-blown award material. Superb work Alan Kimmel and Dan Wright!"

"It's hard for me to curb my enthusiasm in the presence of a sonic miracle. To my ears, the KWA 150 represents a smashing success, combining the musicality of tubes with the punch, power delivery, and bass reach of transistors. Factor in the performance and looks of this amp relative to its asking price and the result is a fantastic value. Kudos to ModWright for delivering the sonic goodies, while avoiding sticker shock. Buyer beware: Once auditioned, this amp is hard to walk away from."
- Dick Olsher, The Absolute Sound (read the review)



I love the excellent Modwright 150 Power Amps every time I hear them. Dan Wright just does not miss no matter what he builds. These 84lb. beauties sound like the finest tube amps with power to spare... and there's not a tube to be seen! With 150 watts into 8ohms and 250 watts into 4 ohms, they are up to any task. I have not heard all solid-state amps, but I have heard many costing three and four times what these do and not sounding one whit better. These would be the solid-state amps I'd buy if I were in the market for a tip top amplifier with both delicate nuances with really big balls, too. Made in the USA!!
- Bob Levi, Positive Feedback Online


This is a pure, direct, slightly warm sound with very good body, first-class bass and a highly informative if not illuminated treble. The balance between image density and transparency is perfectly centered which is to say, you can find amps that do more of one but invariably diminish the other... Dan Wright's first-ever amplifier strikes me as a very fine achievement. It really does have the makings of a best-of-both world where tone and grip, finesse and power, textures and transients coexist and noise, drive and power tube issues don't factor in at all. Should the competition be worried? I should think so!

Overview


ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier

The ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier represents the Integration of Simplicity, Purity, Elegance and Power. Available with optional Phono and DAC (24/192 Asynchronous USB and RCA), offers freedom from the physical space requirements of complex audio separates. The ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier requires only power cord, speaker cables and speakers, to make a True High End Audio system.


Intended for the music lover looking for a simpler path to enjoying music, the ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier is the solution.


Full function remote, controls volume, mute, power, input select, remote triggers, DAC input select as well as MM or MC phono inputs (both optional). Dual digital displays, clearly visible from across the room, indicate source input and volume level. Displays may also be remotely dimmed or turned off.


Manual controls are simple: Two knobs and two buttons. Power, Home Theater Bypass (or preamp-input) button, source select, and volume control knobs complete the interface.


The ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier uses a digitally controlled analog volume control with buffered input to the Solid State Music Stage, found in all of ModWright’s amplifiers. This allows for a volume control superior to standard potentiometers and a single gain stage, direct-coupled to the current amplified output stage for ultimate sonic purity.


Power handling is MOSFET by design, with a 1.5KVA power transformer and over 234,000 microfarads total capacitance. Incredible current reserves and 200W of power into 8 ohms (400W into 4 ohms), allow the flexibility to drive nearly any speaker.


The ModWright KWI 200 Integrated Amplifier is proudly handcrafted in the U.S.A.
