Specifications of the KWA 100:
- Fully
discrete 'Solid State Music Stage' design by Alan Kimmel, offering
midrange of tubes as well as muscle and speed of solid state design.
- Zero global Negative feedback.
- High Current MOSFET output stage for extreme linearity and speed.
- Over 90,000uf total power supply capacitance reserves for deep and tuneful bass.
- Lundahl Input Transformer coupled floating
ground design, preventing ground loops and isolation from ground mains,
for exceptionally low noise floor.
- RCA and XLR inputs transformer coupled to fully balanced circuitry.
- Proprietary protection circuitry operating
completely outside of signal path, protecting both amplifier and
associated system components with ZERO impact on sonics.
- DC input and output protection
- Over-current protection.
- Output short-circuit protection.
- Thermal overload protection.
- Proprietary 'RFB' circuit to protect amp in case of single rail fuse failure
- Class AB operation.
- Bias optimized for low distortion, heat and
sonics, allowing for lower operating temperatures, and ideal sonic
presentation.
- Pure copper pcb traces, offering the lowest possible impedance.
- Extremely short signal paths and highest
quality MWI capacitors and audio grade signal path components for sonic
purity.
- Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 17"Wx17"Dx6"H; Weight 47lb packed.
- Power: 100W @ 8ohms; 200W @ 4 ohms.
Specifications of the KWA 100 SE:
The KWA 100SE includes the following upgrades:
- 20 output devices total, opposed to 12 output devices in the LS 100.
- 88,000uf increase in total main power supply capacitance.
- Upgrade of over twenty (20) key signal and power supply capacitors to MWI custom capacitors.
- Upgrade of key signal path resistors to Precision Japanese Takman Carbon Film resistors.
- The results include better bass response, speaker control, and improvement in low-level detail and overall resolution
