PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo

thieliste-

at that price level and performance I would seek an audition prior to any purchase.

Happy Listening!

+1 melbguy1.  

I am very happy with a pair of Modwright KWA150SE driving my B&W802D2's in bridge configuration. This amp is grossly underrated, easily one of the best solid state amp under $10K. The holographic imaging, tubey mid-range, fabulous highs without any edginess and superb tight bass. The build and finish quality is also unprecedented at this price point.  

Try to audition these amps in bridge mode with LS36.5 and Elyse DAC and be ready for a magical ride. 

jafant don't worry i'm going to the Munich show this year therefore i will meet the Nagra team and audition the gear.

lalitk thanks for your input, yes i do know the Modwright 150SE beeing very good especialy in bridged mode, they could drive most speakers out there.
How would you rate the 36.5DM preamp with the separate power supply ?

thieliste, I have not tried the 36.5DM power supply.  I did discuss the separate power supply option with Dan prior to buying the LS36.5. According to him, it's a whole another level of performance.  It's on my short list of future upgrades.

I don't know your rest of the setup but If you're considering LS36.5 or any other preamp, make sure it has line level outputs to drive a sub. Dan customized my LS with a fully balanced output in parallel to drive my JL Audio F212v2. The sub adds a another layer of dimension that IMHO, no speaker is capable of producing.  

lalitk if ever i choose Modwright to build my system i would definitely buy 2 150SE bridged and the LS36.5 with separate power supply.
In terms of sources  i should pick either Totaldac six or twelve depending on budget or one other option in the $10K range which is outstanding is the Audiomat Maestro 3 Reference with streaming option.
