Amp with best bass control

What speakers are we talking about here? There is such thing as overdamped bass with some speakers. In my experience this can be the case for high efficiency speakers, or speakers designed with low damping factor tube amplification in mind.

Tube Research Labs Samson (they are solid state). Your ears wont bleed from the steely highs you get from the "K" brand.

Mike,

the best way to determine, is to go out and visit dealers/retailers offerings. There are some great suggestions as above. Happy Listening!

Electron Kinetics Eagle 2, 4, etc. Also Bedini amps - at least the Bedini 100/100.

My K brand has the most wonderful highs you could ever imagine!, likly, not brittle as your amp makes the highs, I have the legendary Krell 700cx!
