LATEST KWI 200 REVIEW - POSITIVE FEEDBACK!
« on: 4 Nov 2012, 07:58 pm »
Thank you to Steve Lefkowicz of Positive Feedback Online for a great new review of the KWI 200.

His approach is unique in that he has typically only reviewed products under $3K.  The benefit of his review is that it stresses the VALUE and impact on the system of the AMP or INTEGRATED AMP in this case.

Please read and share your impressions!

Thanks,

I was thinking that the price of the KWI200 was a bit pricey for what I wanted. After reading the PF reveiw I got to thinking I get a pre amp, power amp,USB/DAC and a phono stage for apprx. $6500. It was gonna cost me more than $6500 with separates, plus the cost of better IC's and whatever I may be forgetting. And trying to match output impedance/input impedance and all the matching of synergy with separates. :nono:

The KWI200 is like a HUGH bargain!! And a no brainer, for me any way. Plus it's GORGEOUS. Now all I need to find out is if it has a balance control on the remote, as I didn't see any way on the face plate. Did I mention it's gorgeous too?

Hi, sorry for the tardy reply.  It does not have a balance control.

Thanks,

Dan

I am thinking the KWI 200 would be a good integrated amp for my Endeavor E-3 speakers.  But then there are Hegel 300 and Plinius Hautonga around the same price point.  I don't need phono and DAC.  No doubt the KWI 200 has the best looks.  Tough choice.

I have KWI 200 units without DAC or Phono, that are also listed on a separate post as dealer demo/customer trade-in's at discounted price!

If you are looking, please let me know.

The base MSRP for a KWI 200 without DAC or Phono is $5500 w/metal remote.
The KWI 200 with its 1.5KVA power transformer, 234,000uf of powr supply capacitance and 10 pairs of output devices per channel is a HIGH-CURRENT and POWERFUL as well as beautiful integrated amp!

The demo units ARE attractively priced!

Thanks,

Dan
