KT-88 KT-90 KT-100 6550 which has the best bass?

I may get 60 watt 2ch.amp and was wondering which tube will offer the most authority?
I play rock and need the most power and bass I can get out of tubes.
The amp can use all 4 tubes mentioned.
Im leaning towards Svetlana or Electro Harmonix.
Thank you for any info.

Thats Joe- I'll flip a coin tomorrow night to decide to bid on it or not.
My Threshold S/200 drives my Thiels with utter ease.The speakers have never sounded like they do now.Incredible!
The Houston probably would get limited use as Im a whaco metal head.
But the Houston is so pretty,and I miss the glow at night from big tubes.
I guess thats an irrational reason to buy,huh? :~)

David, the Threshold were some of the finest solid state amps ever built. When I think of some of the junk sold for $10K, I realize how very intelligent people like you are. These new cosmetic heroes do not compare with the likes of what you have.

As far as the Houston goes, so long as the price doesn't get too high, my recommendation is to BUY IT!

Good luck,
Joe

Joe-
The Houston went for ~$440 or so.I didnt bother to bid once it took off.
I remember when they were sold at close out prices NIB for ~ 5 bills.
For $300 it would have been a nice second amp though.
You're right Joe.The Threshold is awesome and I finally have a amp to drive my Thiels to my complete satisfaction.
Nice to hear from you again!
