I've had a great experience with bi-amplification using tube and SS amps. For the amplifier with larger power you will need an extra volume control to adjust balance by ear. Although you might have to adjust it every time you'd like to change to a larger volume, I'd still consider it's better than removing the built-in speaker crossover and using an electronic one.
Tube Amp Recommendation for a solid state guy
After years of using solid state amps I'm thinking of purchasing a tube amp. My current amp is a Bryston 4B ST, it's a great neutral amp w/ loads of power but I always feel like I want more warmth and mid bass bloom.
I've been researching various tube amps from new "Chinese" imports to older / vintage units and I'm unsure which is the right amp for me. I mostly listen to modern blues, rock and Jazz so I want an amp with guts and power. My biggest concern with tubes is there apparent lack of "kick" so I'm hoping to find the best of both worlds.
My budget is $750 - $1,500 and I'm not afraid of buying second hand. Can anyone make a recommendation?
Thanks!
