Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp?

I currently own a Modwright preamp and a Pass Labs X150 amp. I really enjoy these components but, I wish the Pass amp had more warmth in my system. What amps have the warmth of tubes but are as detailed and as controlled as this Pass amp. I can't afford the .5 series of Pass amps. I previously had a CJ MF-200 amp and PV-11 preamp in my system, which was much warmer, but not as clean and detailed. I'm looking to spend about $2K used. Thanks!

OK lets see if we can reach an agreement on that 'simple' request. :-)

I nominate 100 to 300 hz for upper bass/lower mid range and 1500 to 4000 hz for upper mid-range lower treble.

Are you keeping score Tvad? :-)

No. It is 114 to 354 Hz and 1257 to 3643 Hz with 14dB per octave rolloffs.

OK I vote for Harleys definitions! Now just tell me when I'm listening to the fat lady sing how i know when the high note is 1500 or 2500 hz.

Maybe in addition to Harleys breakdown, we also need one of those charts that show the range of all of the musical instruments etc so when I describe low bass coming from a flute you can look at the chart and tell me I'm FOS because a flute don't go that low!

Tvad, I'm kidding!!!!!!!!!!
