Modwright KWA 150 and Proac D38R

Hi I am unable to test this amp (which I have purchased) on the Proac D38R which I am considering. Particularly keen to know if the Modwright can control the bass and make the Proac sound good at low volumes.

Your thoughts would be welcome.

I tried the Proac with the Conrad Johnson ET 250S and was not happy with the sound at low volumes - there was very low midrange coming through relative to bass and highs.

Would the Modwright do a better job?

Do you have the opportunity to hear the ProAc with any other amp at all? If low volume performance is important to you, I recommend verifying you can get that from the speaker.

Some speakers are much better at low volumes than others, and it's not necessarily something a different amp will address. It might help, but just saying that ideally I would make sure.

Another variable to consider is the preamp: what was the preamp you heard these with, and what are you planning to use?

Andrew, if you read the 6moons review of the KWA-150 you will notice reviewer Srajan Ebaen tested the KWA-150 with a pair of 97db/12ohm efficient Zu Essence speakers and there were no issues. Coming back to your OP, Srajan commented bass was excellent and low level detail was "phenominal" paired with the Zu's.
