Tubes Top End, SS bottom?


I love tubes on the highs and midrange, but can't get enough punch out of the bass on my Vandy 2ce's. I've been thinking that I should get a solid line amp, Aragon 4004 MkII to run the bottom. But will the speed of the solid state be out of phase with my old Dynaco St-70 on the top end? My preamp, an Aragon 24Ksp has two outs to amp. What is the most cost effective solution to my problem?

I have tried this combination with Threshold 200 and Cary tube amps. Both were respectful amps and had decent sound. I auditioned a pair of Wolcott amps and had the greatest sound to date in my system. They are tube amps with a 0 output impedance. The best bass Ive heard surpassing all ss amps and awesome mids and highs. You need to check these out.
To reinforce our likeness for Wolcott Amps read the current issue of TAS. These amps are being used for bi-amping the low end of a $100,000 reference system.
