Tube amps that kick ass?


I'd like to find a high powered tube amp that can deliver all the magic that tubes are known for AND that kicks butt. Solid, tight bass with good authority. Dynamic, quick, but handles the little information (micro) sweetly as well. A tube amp that will play rock and roll at realistic volumes – the way rock in roll was meant to be enjoyed - and still sound great.

Any ideas? 10K or under? preferably 5K or so

Thanks for all responses.

I'll agree with those who suggest VAC amps,but I favor the renaissance 140's. I have seen them sell for 5k to 6k but retubing these beauties can be expensive. Well worth the investment though. I use Sophia carbon plate 300's with the Brimar CV1988's and the sound is glorious.
