"those Prima Luna tube amps have an output impedance of several ohms! Hardly good for bass performance! My Dynaco ST70 is far better!
White paper vs anectdotal experience often contradict what anyone's ears actually like.
Having used the PL HP for 5 years, I've never heard a bass deficiency.
Like all amps-ss or tube, some speakers sound good, some don't with said amp.
The PL HP has both of the OP's requirements and plenty of flexibility to tailor the sound(tubes) to the OP's liking. It will also drive many popular speakers. Whether your ears like it, that's all YOU and no one here.
You simply need to demo if possible. All the write ups on it, do provide insight, but no guarantee for your own ears. Reselling if you didn't like it, shouldn't be a problem.
Check out Line Magnetic as another value tube option.
