KT-88 KT-90 KT-100 6550 which has the best bass?


I may get 60 watt 2ch.amp and was wondering which tube will offer the most authority?
I play rock and need the most power and bass I can get out of tubes.
The amp can use all 4 tubes mentioned.
Im leaning towards Svetlana or Electro Harmonix.
Thank you for any info.

Joe-Thanks for your input, as well as everyone else.You ask how I've been? I was in a car wreck the 20th of July.Out of work for another 3 weeks.Other than that,alls well.No one has mentioned the KT-100.The amp I 'may' get is supplied with KT-100'sI'll take a guess.Its similar to the KT-90??Joe,I recently bought a Threshold S/300 stasis.This amp gets HOT when pushed.Im keeping my bare foot off this amp! :~)
Yes Joe,its the Houston amp on auction I am looking at.
I know of their reliability issues and have no customer support.But if I can get it for $300 it may be worth it.
Any thoughts on rolling the dice with the Houston?
Thats Joe- I'll flip a coin tomorrow night to decide to bid on it or not.
My Threshold S/200 drives my Thiels with utter ease.The speakers have never sounded like they do now.Incredible!
The Houston probably would get limited use as Im a whaco metal head.
But the Houston is so pretty,and I miss the glow at night from big tubes.
I guess thats an irrational reason to buy,huh? :~)
Joe-
The Houston went for ~$440 or so.I didnt bother to bid once it took off.
I remember when they were sold at close out prices NIB for ~ 5 bills.
For $300 it would have been a nice second amp though.
You're right Joe.The Threshold is awesome and I finally have a amp to drive my Thiels to my complete satisfaction.
Nice to hear from you again!
