Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?

Taylor514,
Thank you for letting me know about your issues. It is a concern. Fortunately, I have my MAC integrated which will keep me happy until the Modwright returns. Unfortunately, Dan's in Washington state and I'm in Pennsylvania so, needless to say, a lot of time will pass until the Modwright returns. I haven't spoken to the dealer about my situation but I will hold out until a later date. I'm not technically skilled enough to know why this condition occurs. I wish you good luck with your amp in the future and I hope Dan can figure out the DC issue.

I apologize for the uissues that the poster has experienced. The first unit that arrived DOA had an undersized fuse. Some early units did experience a need for readjustment of DC bias, but this has been resolved and we are happy to address issues with any such early units.

We stand behind every product that we produce 100% in order to insure customer satisfaction.

Sincerely,

Dan Wright
President, ModWright Instruments Inc

May I know is DC bias caused by fluctuation in voltage or current supplied to the KWI-200?

Tks

Hiya there,
I have one technical question in regards to HT bypass on this integrated. I see that it has a button on the front of the chassis. Are users also able to select HT bypass mode also by pressing a button on a remote control?

Thanks for answer.

p.s. reading this thread with great interest and looking to hear more revisited thoughts.

Hey there,
I will answer my own question. I found a manual of ModWright KWI-200 on the official website and went through it. Unfortunately HT bypass/Pre-input is not selectable with remote control. In order to trigger that mode you need to stand up from your comfort zone and press a button on the front panel of the amplifier :).
I did not heard ModWright KWI-200 but what you wrote till now triggered my interest as you described the sound on a way that is compatible what I like and I search in the music presentation. I like a sound a little bit on the warm side, meaty sound and voices from singers that are really singing with the full capacities of their lounges, good natural timbre of the instruments so that I can almost grab them in my room. Good control in the bass. Instruments and musicians were with me in the room. I stopped to think about the equipment and only what stayed was music and nothing else. I was lost in that space of music. Till now I experienced these feelings I'm describing now only with good old Gryphon Tabu that I had on my trial. But unfortunately I did not have many high class amplifiers on trial.

Still I would like to hear this new ModWright KWI-200 and see and hear how it would act with my Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 speakers that I have. Two Americans, compatible? Hmm, maybe, I'm a little bit intrigued?! To throw a small bone into the fire I would like to ask if maybe anybody had a chance to hear it or has any theory or experiences how it would act with Antony Gallo speakers? I know this question is like searching needle in the hay and answer might be more theoretical, but still maybe we can extract some useful information.

Other amps that still grabs my close attention are the following: two a little bit older: Gryphon Callisto 2200, Gryphon Tabu; again from Gryphon camp: Gryphon Atilla, Gryphon Diablo; Karan KA-I180; Leben CS600; McIntosh MA7000 and finally now also this new ModWright KWI-200 integrated.
best, d.
