Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps


Right now running bottlehead moreplay into pass x350.8. Speakers are ns5000. The sound is great but my buddy let me borrow cj lp140ms and the mid range magic these amps brought was amazing. The pass had better bass and maybe detail. 

I wanted to see if I could get tube amps that had pass bass with romance of cj. I tried prima luna evo 300 but it was a step down from cj in terms soundstage and tone. 

 

I'm guessing I need more power.. maybe at least 100 wpc. Any recommendations looking to spend less than $7k.

I can't say enough about my 300b's and 6c Triodes

It pains me to think where they might end up!

Had his products since 1980 with no issues.

@smodtactical 

Does the amp have to be tubes if it has the same good character as a good tube amplifier?

@atmasphere  Id love something like that although im skeptical an SS amp can bring the tube magic the way real tubes can. The pass does have some tube character but when I heard the CJ monos I heard the true mid range magic.

But ya I am open to an SS if you think it can match tube sound.

@smodtactical "but when I heard the CJ monos I heard the true mid range magic."

 

Hook, line, and sinker!   When your buddy let you demo them, knew exactly what was going to happen. :)

I know of at least one such amp.
