SWL 9.0SE Tube Linestage
The SWL 9.0SE, named after my son, Spencer Wright (9.0lb at birth) represents our first tube product design.
The 9.0SE, as Spencer Wright, was conceived in 2003 and has won worldwide acclaim, awards exceptional reviews.
Sonic presentation of the 9.0SE is both neutral and natural. While a tube product, the use of the 5687 tube and innovative design, result in the beauty of tubes without excessive coloration or overly 'warm'/ 'romantic' sonic signature.
As Sally Reynolds indicates in her review of the 9.0SE for The Absolute Sound, there is brilliant synergy with Class D amps as well as conventional SS and tube amps.
The 9.0SE is meant to represent high value and high performance and our customers have proven this to be true.
The 9.0SE is offered in both a 'Special Editon' version and now a 'Signature Edition' version.
The 9.0 'Signature Edition' is differentiated by the use of proprietary MWI custom capacitors throughout, as well as a tube-rectified (internal) power supply with improved dual-discrete SS voltage regulation.
The current 'Signature Edition' 9.0SE represents a number of innovations and upgrades that we have learned and constantly refined since release of the first SWL 9.0 and subsequent SWL 9.0SE 'Special Edition'.
Existing SWL 9.0 and SWL 9.0SE units may be factory upgraded to 'Signature Edition' status!
I feel strongly, the importance of offering attractive upgrade paths for all ModWright customers, whether it be a component upgrade, such as to the LS 36.5 balanced tube linestage, or an upgrade of existing 9.0 and 9.0SE units.
