Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities

I have been reading over posts about tube amps and their bass qualities. I understand that for the most part, that a ss amp with have an edge in bass qualities compared to a tubed amp. Damping factor, etc. But I can give up a little of that edge for what I enjoy in the midrange qualities of a tubed amp. So my question is, what tube power amps have you heard that have good bass qualities?  Raven, Quicksilver, Mac, etc.?   Let's give a price point. 5K or under. What do you think?

When I had my Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers and drove those with my Rogue Audio M-180 monoblocks, the bass was stupendous.  That didn't stop me from combining them with 4 subwoofers though. 

New, these are over your $5K budget, but I bought a second hand pair here for much less than $5K.
