Best Tube Integrated


I'm looking to experiment with a tube or tube hybrid integrated amp. I don't really want to exceed the $2000 used range. I currently own a Krell KSA 250 and I'm running Dynaudio Contour 3.3's. As you may be able to tell, I like big output with a lot of bass. I realize that tubes probably won't give such bass and output but I just want to find an integrated that's known for having some juice. The main thing is I just want it to be warm and sweet. Any suggestions?

Aronov LS-960I, now available only used.
Provides your requested "big output with a lot of bass," as well as "having some juice."
Specifically renowned for enabling forceful, faithful-to-the-music bass, limited only by a speaker's abilities.
Sounds very natural, easy to listen to, realistic, with music free of any dryness, or listener fatigue, rather than specifically warming up, or sweetening.
Does allow recordings to sound their best, and definitely avoids what is less captivating about many solid state designs.
One of the very few modestly priced tube designs that delivers the kind of profoundly satisfying bass that can thrill the audiophile heart.
From the way you described your listening preference, any choice that fails to deliver great bass might be a short-lived experiment.
