Tube amp with SS like bass


I demoed a used BAT VK-60 amp and while the mids and highs were very good I just could not warm up to the bass. I have the VK-200 and am spoiled by its wonderfully tight bass response.

Can I have what I'm looking for under 2K, preferably, 1.5K?

Contenders are:
Butler 2250
Audio Research VS-55
BAT VK-55
Rogue 90

Any others to consider?

Try an AVA Fetvalve 550 hybrid amp or a Blue Circle amp if you can get by with less power. Both have a very similar sonic signature that no pure ss amp can match with excellent bass.

That's as close as you're going to get. I've not heard most amps but I've never heard an SS amp that sounds like a tube amp very much including Pass.
