Bryston vs Modwright?

I'm looking to replace my old power amp with a new one, in the $4500-5000 range; I'm running an ARC ref 5 SE that I got from a friend, and will be driving Dali helicon 400 mk 2s. I have been thinking solid state to complement the ref 5 SE, and have been exploring the Bryston 4bSST2 vs the Modwright kwa 100 SE. Anyone have experience with either or both of these amps?

Meant to add, Dan Wright is very easy to speak to and willing to have a conversation. I'd give him a call and discuss your equipment, room, music tastes , etc. ; worth the call. 

One last point, my experience is that Modwright gear isn't partial to music genres.

The Modwright amps and preamps are wonderful.  I've owned a couple of both.  Excellent build quality and sound.

Dan is great to work with, like others have stated.

The Bryston is a sonic match for the ARC Ref5 SE pre-amp.
I have heard this combo (3B-ST and 4B-SST) on Wilson Audio speakers and Transparent Ref XL / OPUS cable systems. Excellent sound and presentation indeed!

Another recommendation for Modwright.  Very musical products and impeccable customer service!
