Tube amp with SS like bass

Haven't been able to respond to my own thread due to a GI virus that had floored me. I really like the F2 floorstanders but will go with something bigger in the Tyler line, with a bigger cabinet and woofer in the next six months.

House is very open with an effective listening volume of about 1800 sq. feet up to a 22 foot ceiling.Stereo room is a carved out nook in this loft style arrangement of about 400 sq. feet.

How about the Audio resaerch 100.2? Sounds like this amp was a winner in the midrange.

this is the 10 year old father of the VK-55 and has deep tight bass. Looks like new, has low hours on the tubes, and has original box and manuals, I'd let it go for $900.

Of course I meant the Audio Research 100.2 SS amp. May give me the best of tubes and SS. But do I really get an advantage over my VK-200? Guess I'd have to buy and try.

Again trust me Rogue 120's or VTL 300 if Big time power is needed.
