What do you mean "more on the high end side"? Power? Price? Quality?

I don't you'll get better bass from a tube amp the CAT JL2 and JL3s. "Soft and Wet" - I don't think so, tranparent and natural maybe. You could probably work on the pre side of the house mush up the sound a bit.

Esoteric and exotic? I don't about that, I'm not sure I even really know what you mean by that. If you want a great (one of the finest) tube amps with SS-type bass and control get the CAT. The monos are $30,000, that should be pretty esoteric and exotic - I think. On the other hand, there is a $300,000 WAVAC....

You did mention hybrid, I think Tenor has new hybrid amp on the market.

Atmasphere, your amps are among the best, but he claims to want "soft and WET", which he is unlikely to get with your stuff, or CAT for that matter; now if he wants fast,neutral, transparent and clear along with "ballsy" bass... Then again, I don't know if he is serious.

You are right; I think that is what Misc Audio is for.
