This review page is supported in part by the sponsors whose ad banners are displayed below The KWI200 is the newest entrant in Mod Wright’s line and their first-ever integrated. I read announcements about its pending launch long before it bowed and for some reason assumed that it would combine the LS-100 and KWA-100 or perhaps even the latter’s SE version. In hindsight I think that what was actually implied was equivalent sound, not a simply repackaged two-in-one circuit. As I discovered upon delivery, the KWI200 is strictly solid-state and not the expected tube/transistor hybrid. No wonderful valve glow. That’s also when I realized that the phono board too had to differ from the LS-100 option which uses tubes after all. My fault entirely. I’d failed to request details from our domestic importer. On the other hand, studying Mod Wright’s web page shows information about the optional D/ A and phono modules for the LS-100 and KWI200 to be truly scarce. Perhaps this can be rectified? Sound.
