Upgrade from my Modwright KWA 100SE

I am considering a KWA 150 SE, but not sure how significant a jump up it is from my current amp. Any experiences shared are appreciated or alternate upgrade paths. My speakers are my own Open baffle design (Satori MW16P and TW29) with a GR research H frame subs with AQ370 Amps. preamp is LS100. Thanks.

Jriggy...some parts upgrades but no fundamental differences!  Both MOSFET designs.  They don’t double down on power either which is kinda strange given the robust build.

Weird that the description sounds the same and no mention of bipolars.  MOSFET ‘s are usually associated with that Tubelike Sound mentioned ‘

I ended up with a Wells Inamorata. Its impressive, very bold (dynamic).

@jimbones nice! The Wells amps are indeed impressive. People that choose without giving them a shot are missing out. My Innamorata Signature is completely free of any solid state artifacts. Lovely amplifier.
