Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ???

I think you'll find that low end response with tube amps will correlate with output transformer design. VTL amps excel in this regard. I have a pair of VTL 300 monos which provide the most controlled and musical bass of any tube amp I've tried. They built a few model options in the 200-450 watt range.

Must say I'll add my agreement with John that 200-250 are hardly "moderate power" but I would say for ANY amp.

I too own Parsifal Encores and don’t know why you would need all that power. I am using Joule Electra Heaven’s Gate tube mono amps (70 wpc) and its more than enough power. If I wanted to go to a higher powered tube amp to match with the Verity’s I would probably look at the big CAT amps either the stereo JL-2 or mono JL-3. Also the VAC PHI-220 or amps from VTL. Happy hunting.

If you're interested in used stuff consider the older VTL open chassis models like the mono 300's or the vintage C-J Premier 1. Also the D-250 from Audio Research. All can be found for about $2500 or less.

How about the wolcott p220 monoblocks? 220 watts, adjustable damping for fine tuning and excellant quality.
