What freq.do tube amps loosen up in bass


Wouldn't mind trying a tube amp but I like my bass. Always hear that they just aren't as tight or deep as a ss amp. At just what freq. does the bass begin to suffer? I use a powered sub & wonder where the crossover would need to be set so the loss in bass wouldn't be noticed ( I crossover at 35Hz now)Thanks to all

The answer won't be the same, from one tube amp to the next. There's no gurantee that your sub will mate well with a tube amp, either. I just got a tube amp, and so far it seems to only lack the bottom octave, and some of the top octave. It's not broken in, so I can't say definitively yet.
