The "charactor" of pure Class A?
I would have to agree...an amp is either a good amp or its not...regardless of design...there are those that put a high value on specs, distortion,etc...but listening is the key...that being said...i used to have an early Musical fidelity a series... 
Looking for $500 integrated amp to match B&W685

Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s
looks like i have a few supporters on my side! Buy hey...this is a highly subjective hobbie...agree with Goldenear...mixing bass straight into board bad idea...never been too sold on Glyn johns bass sound...it find too loose and ill-defined

Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s
