PS Audio BHK lacking..

What kind of qualities do you enjoy most in your music and what music do you play most often?  Easier to recommend tubes knowing what you like....warmth, speed, soundstage, strong bass, lots of air, treble sparkle, etc...

I’d go with strong bass, soundstage & air.  Mostly old rock, country, & now classical because it is well recorded.

PS Audio lacks...

It should be better than a Rotel, I had the 250 for about 2 days and returned it.  In all fairness, I did purchase it used from The Music Room.  No problems returning.  It just is underpowered.  I had sold an old Adcom 555ii which would beat it hands down, no tubes too, and sounded sweeter.  I like PS Audio's marketing and return policy and the people - but the stuff is not high end in my opinion - right in there with MAC and Rotel.

@plaw - was that the BHK250? I don't have any comment in regards to their power, efficiency of your speakers, size of your room or the listening levels you enjoy..

I do know that a BHK250 does sound markedly better with the BHK Pre, honestly I can't speak as to why it's the case. But it is just so.
