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?

Alruhl is right on. I have heard those amps on Vandersteen 2C's, and they were quite nice together. Mixing amps can be very tricky. Usually works best with servo sub woofers. Perhaps using more neutral tube amps or warmer solid state amps would be a "sounder" course of action.
