Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88

Michael I strongly agree with you. My SS phono stage into my tube pre to tube amps pumps out incredibly rich bass. I would entertain the use of an SS pre myself but I absolutely love the imaging that my modded little AE-3 AES preamp makes. It is magic. But let me emphasize that an SS pre might sole this problem. But keep the tube power amp!

Thanks to everyone, I think I got some great advices here.
So far I was using pretty old solid state amp that I brought from abroad long time ago (called amphiton), don't know much about it except that it is about 25 years old. But now I want to move to tubes, was looking at something within my price range like Cary Rocket 88. But the reviews that I came across on Cary 88 highly acclaimed mids and highs but I didn't see much praise on bass. Thus I wanted to see if there is a better amp out there on the bass side. Yes, I want to go into tubes, try some tubes rolling and what not. Don't have a pre-amp yet - need one with XLR input (my piano has XLR out so I want to keep this option available). Was looking at Cary SP-03 to stick to Cary's line but I have not decided yet.
I liked the idea of using a sub, I will definitly give it a thought. Thanks again

We all know our rooms’ dimensions, our ears, and our tastes… vary from one room to another person’s hearing. I have found that the simple act of inserting Schitt equalizer into my Cary Rocket 88, Bluesound Node, Polk sub, and Klipsch Forte mix… fits every equation and musical genre. It’s more logical to me than rolling tubes, swapping components, and inability to “have it all”, which will forever variate. 

Hopefully, the OP used the 11 years to find something to their liking.

Would agree with @tan43 , get a large class D amp, split the signal and let the class D amp handle the woofers and let the Rocket 88 drive the mids and tweeters.
