Aronov Audio LS-960I has seemed to my circle of listeners to be the reasonably priced tube bass champ, as it runs in the $1200 (or, less) range used on Audiogon. Also, very realistic, and "just right" sounding, throughout rest of frequency range.
Of course, this quality of bass is too wonderful for just movies, so don't forget your music roots.
