Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist?


Let's assume it will drive two way speakers with 1" tweeter and 8" woofer, 89db 8ohm. Any price level. No hybrids invited.
I personally haven't heard of one.

Dorkwad,

The KWI-200 is a neat product, but entirely solid state, so it does not match the OPs criteria.
Define "real bass". Don't most tube integrated amps have it? At least if used in a smaller room and/or with suitable speakers?

The problem is more likely that there are relatively few speakers that can do bass really well with most tube integrated amps. Ones that can are likely very big and very expensive.

When the amp has limitations, the speaker has to take up the slack (easy load, high efficiency, etc.). That's the case with tube amps.

With SS amps its the opposite. Speakers can be smaller and less efficient, which the evidence indicates is what most people prefer.

Doesn't make one better than the other necessarily... just different "paradigms" as they say.
I think the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP (high-powered) would do the trick for you. You can use EL34, KT88, KT120 and KT150 tubes and run it into ultra-linear mode or triode. It will do 96W X 2 into 8 ohms running ultra-linear with KT150 tubes.
