Wells Audio MAJESTIC or Modwright KWI-200 Integrated Amplifier

Hello, I have a pair of Daedalus Audio Muse Speakers, my current amp is a Shindo Appetite, I borrowed a Redgum 35w per channel on my system the other day and it definitely sounds better than the Shindo on my speakers. So I think I am going to dump the Shindo and any Tube amp for that matter and go for SS Integrated AMP.


I have read many times that Shindo pairs with Devore and that Daedalus pairs with Modwright, but also read that the Wells Integrated, the Majestic is a Gem, I don't have dealers near me so audition is complicated . 


Any insight between these 2 Integrated SS amps ?

Of course modwright...i have one and there there the...kidding...Im using one with atc 19 and man... its a nice match...w/mod it has the nice warmth combined with atc precision...enough power to drive them the way they should...modwright has the nice lowend ext and tube/ss warmth that the atc I believe needed for my music tastes...jazz/rb

Was getting upgrade itch and glad i didn't...give dan a call he is a great guy and very knowledgeable...especially with Daedalus...

I do not have experience with Wells, but I am using Modwright KWI200, Modwright Tube Mod Oppo with Daedalus Athena V2 speakers.  This combination does it for me, as I no longer have that upgrade itch to scratch :).  At least for now.

The Wells paired with Daedalus at Capital Audio Show was having some problems.  The Modwright paired with Fritz was fabulous.

Dan has a new Hybrid integrated coming soon. Is supposed to be based on the SWL 9 and 150SE.

I think he may have the prototype of the hybrid with him at AXPONA.
