Tube amp with SS like bass

Unfortunately, the answer is no in your price range. To control woofers (i.e., to have decent bass), a tube amp has to have top-notch output transformers (as well as serious power supplies). The former are very, very expensive.

The Sonic Frontiers Power 2, which does not have particularly distinguished output trannies but is a well-made amp, is about a close as you'll come for $2k (used).

There are only a tiny handful of readily available tube amps that can really control the woofers of dynamic loudspeakers, the most notable of which are the CAT amps.

I don't know about the Rogue 90...my Rogue 120 Magnums (Kt-88's) have Krell like bass...as a matter of fact they replaced a Krell Kav-500.

That said, no amp can drive speakers which require more power than that amp can provide...no exceptions.

Your speakers, room, and SPL's required will be a big factor in determining bass impact...you didn't mention any of that.

Moscode 401HR ($4995), Wolcott P220-S ($6500), perhaps the Music Reference RM-200 ($4000). The Moscode and Music Reference are tube/SS hybrids.

I know of no tube amp in your price range that will give you SS-like bass.

I agree with Raquel, I auditioned several amps including the Rogues and ended up buying the Sonic Frontiers Power 2. There are lots above your price range, but in it, the Power 2 is your best option.

Of the ones you mentioned the Butler would be my pick. I heard it at RMAF and thought the bass was very good. It is a hybrid design and OTL, no output transformers.

That being said I would generally agree with the others who indicated you will have to set your budget higher to attain the goal.
