RMAF SHOW COVERAGE!!! 845 DS AMP DEBUT!
« on: 4 Oct 2015, 06:26 am »
First of all, thank you to Part Time Audiophile for early show coverage!

http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2015/10/02/rmaf-2015-modwright-debuts-large-tubes/

We had the 845 DS amps in 8002 (wired internally with Skogrand cabling) on Friday with Endeavor Audio E-5's, Triangle Art TT, all Skogrand Beethoven cabling and the rest of our electronics. It sounded great!  We were then tempted to try 150SE amps with the E-5's and the 845's with Daedalus speakers on Sat.  We found that this was even better, for both rooms.  The E-5's REALLY took off with the muscle of 150SE mono blocks at 450W per channel into 8 ohms.

Down in the Iris room, the 845 DS was QUITE at home with the Daedalus Poseidon loudspeakers.  It ended up being a win-win.

Everyone agreed that this was the best sound that Lou (Daedalus) and I (ModWright) had ever had at RMAF and the 845 DS was a huge success!  There is much more on Facebook and I will add more as the press publish their coverage.

Thanks,

Dan

I can personally attest to this. I heard both rooms on Friday and Saturday. Dan is right about the endeavor speakers really appreciating the additional muscle of the KWA-150. The Iris room with the Ambrose 10W tube amp created really enjoyable sound with the Daedalus Poseidons, but the room became outstanding with the 845s. Terrific sound. The 845s are a great match for Lou's speakers.

Dick Olsher - The Absolute Sound!

"Most Significant"

"The world début of the ModWright 845 DS SET 845-based monoblock amplifier was nothing short of breathtaking." - Dick Olsher, The Absolute Sound

Herb Reichert - Stereophile!

"What attracted me to Dan's designs at CAF was their luminous invisibility. I liked how they generated weighty musical presences but stayed out of the ebb and flow. I especially liked their unprocessed, un-mechanical way with musical program." - Herb Reichert, Stereophile
