KWA 100 SE?

Dan-

Just saw a post over on audiogon, that there is an SE version of the KWA 100.

Can you please give us the details?

Aloha,

Dan

Well, the cat is out of the bag I suppose ;).

I designed the KWA 100 to allow for 'future expansion' that the original price-point could not support.

Specifically, we can add two more pairs of output devices per channel and double the main PS capacitance.  In addition, we will upgrade key signal path components to top-shelf parts.

I don't know what the interest is, but I am anticipating a price of $3995 for the SE and a $750 charge (factory upgrade) from KWA 100 to KWA 100SE.  The faceplates all just say KWA 100, so we will have to add some visual indicator as a distinguishing feature.

Thanks!

What do the added mosfets do to the amps performance?

Additional FETs allow for greater current sharing.

Additional capacitance in the supply allows for greater current reserves, which will benefit bass response.

Thanks,
