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.

I had to fix my ModWright integrated twice. It came dead on arrival from the Music Room. I sent it back and got it fixed. It was a ribbon. They came loose and shipping. Four months later a fuse blew.

reliability is not perfect and they are getting pushed hard and it’s very musical but it’s not a reference system.

Dan is a prince of a guy and makes great stuff. I had a LS100 for a long time and was very happy with it.

My integrated is running strong. Build quality stellar and floor is double dead quiet.

 

Will add in to this virtual parade of quality things to say about Modwright and Dan as both the owner and chief spokesperson.  I currently own the LS100 preamp and the PH 9.0.  I have talked with Dan a good half dozen times in the past 2 years and he has also promptly answered emails.  Conversations from tube choices, to cables, etc.  He is one solid guy and his products are very musical by my standards.
