Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?

I recently started using the 10K tone control on my McIntosh MA12000 to compensate for my hearing loss.  I expected the soundstage to collapse, but so far there seems to be only a positive result.  The equalizer is easily defeated when my 17yo daughter is using the listening room.  BTW: She is a big KPop fan and I was shocked to hear her playing various rock and jazz from the sixties to the eighties and current country.  She has Qobuz on her phone and it seems that she has been exploring.

McIntosh MX 110Z in the house. This thing loves Jazz. Tone controls are nice but maybe not at the most useful frequency?

Ok..I’ll bite. What are the most useful frequencies?

Jazz is wonderful sounding...

Why only jazz? What strengths and weaknesses made this old tuner/preamp good with jazz but less ideal with everything else?

The MX110 was part of the first stereo system that I ever heard back in 1965.  Pretty sure that more modern McIntosh would be worth a listen.

I just looked at your system.  Are you using an 8 watt per channel amplifier feeding older speakers?

Pretty tough making bass with such low wattage. When I was running a low wattage 300B SE, I was using an active crossover and 200 watt/channel subwoofers. Now, I’m using 350 watt/channel into 89dB speakers and quality powered subs really made a difference.

I enjoyed reading about your speakers.  They seem to be a highly desirable vintage speaker.  So, I now understand that you are trying to put together components of the same era.
