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?

jwlaff If you’ve still got the Klipsch Heresy’s, anything good sounding will do, as almost rubbing two sticks together will drive them. https://community.klipsch.com/uploads/monthly_02_2016/post-453-0-91780000-1456333330.jpg If your set on tubes, probably OTL’s would be your best pick. I had the Heresy’s this is what I would do. The Schiit 25w Class-A Aegir would be a cracker for just $799 So long as you don't want big party levels. https://www.schiit.com/products/aegir If you’ve got the bi-ampable Heresy’s https://cdn.gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Klipsch-Heresy-III-Review-gear-patrol-slide-5-... You could then go horizontal Bi-Amping with the Schhiit Class-A Aegir on the mids and highs and the $699 Schiit Vidar for the bass. https://www.schiit.com/products/vidar now that would be a killer combo for less than $1500 and you can trial them for 15days. http://av2day.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/biamp1.jpg Cheers George |
Thank you for the responses. I just went over to the Rogue website and there are a few reviews on that amp. I will have to check them out. I was not familiar with the Rogue brand. The Atma Sphere S-30 is also something I am not familiar with. At $2500 it is well within the budget. Much to read! Thank you for all of your responses. |
