Integrated tube amp has no bass Cayin A50T
Not too many tube amps have bass. Selling this amp will make much more sense than sending it back. It's popular and should sell over ebay or here. 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?

Pro audio amp vs. residential amp

Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter?
Onhwy61, If everything's perfectly aligned and no pumping, then filter will 'sleep' and won't 'degrade' performance. If the filter is needed, than it will just save your speakers.
