help with a lush 50 watt+ amp


i own vtl deluxe 120 monoblocks. i would like to purchase another amp, 50 + watts, which has less emphasis on the upper mid/lower treble than my current amp. i'm willing to lose resolution in order to gain a more vintage tube sound which can compensate for cds.

by now, many are aware of my taste for a highly euphonically colored sounds. yes, this is what i like. most of you don't like this sound.

i have been criticized for this. i'm a big boy so i can take it.

anyway, someone has to be the audiogon iconoclast, and i guess that someone is me.

thanks for your help

Just a couple off the top of my head. Going back a bit a couple really nice tube amps come to mind. Audio Research 115B or how about Conrad Johnson Premier5 ( monos ).There are many that would fall into your category.Most of the amps from the past had more of the lush type sound your looking for.....
Low powered Conrad Johnson EL-34 amps like the MV50. When I bought mine the dealer described it as sounding like butter, very smooth. It was.
If you want a vintage tube sound, why not try a vintage amp? If you can live with a few less watts, a Fisher 400 might do the trick.
