i had one of these back in the day - sweet highs and mids but weak and undefined bass, surpassed easily by audio research tube amp equivalents

thanks.
Did you have one of the models from previous years, or something more current?
Because I remember that in previous years, for example I heard one of these in the nineties, they were more sweet and round.
I recently tested an Audio Research 70 at home and it was very sharp and a bit thin to my taste.
But I guess it also depends on the combination with the other components

Another tube integrated to listen to is Rogue. I briefly auditioned one with Klipsch heresy's and found it really fun. 

I dont know the 60 but I listened to the Cav45 about 5 years ago in a shop in Memphis and it was sublime. I have never owned a tube integrated or power amo, just preamps. The sound was really magical and I almost bit. My wife even liked it though she was concerned abut the heat. I didnt buy it just becuase the cost of shipping to Hawaii was astronomical. I still think about it though....I would listen to it if possible. I thought the bass was more than fine for jazz and rock. The mids are what makes it though.
