very few tube amps, even very expensive ones (much less budget models) will produce bass in a way that approaches what solid state, esp. class d amps will typically do
of course good tube amps will give you lovely, dimensional mids, smooth, natural highs and glorious, expansive imaging (if the speakers are not too hard for the amp to drive) ... so in effect, that is pretty much the trade we all make when we move from a to b... sometimes the trade is helped by using ss-powered subwoofers to augment tube amp driven main speakers
for a newbie to tube amps, i agree with the advice given that a push pull amp using el34’s or kt88/6550’s would be a good stepping stone into this world... a direct move to single ended amps might be a bit jarring and lead to dissatisfaction, especially if the user still wants superior bass response
