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.

Great sounding products but like with any other used components, resale sucks. I took a substantial loss when I sold the KWA150SE, LS36.5 and Elyse DAC. If you planning to keep them around for a while, don’t worry about resale, just enjoy. Dan is an awesome guy, he will always have your back.

Great company. Owned a phono pre from them and it’s one of the best I’ve heard. Ph150.

I had the KWA150SE amp and, I also owned the Sony player with all the Modwright Truth modifications. Very nice and very musical sound. Dan or one of his reps were always just a phone call away for any questions or suggestions.  Really sounded great with my Totem Element Metal speakers.

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.
