the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ?


i'm using the word 'tube' as the meaning of warm,smooth and liquid sound.
but i could't compare to some tube amps like mcintosh(mc275), cary(cad 805), arc(vs115) and conrad-johnson(premier) at one place and the same time.
some say mcintosh lean, cary weak and not bloom, arc not tubey and cj no clarity.
i need your experiences and advices.
actually i have a difficulty to match speaker systems with.

I agree with Meiwan that you should set your sights on a 300B amp. Among the superior brands are Art Audio, Larry D. Moore, Fi and Wavelength Audio. Many people agree that the Wavelength Cardinal X2 is superb.
Cary, Jadis, and Quicksilver usually exhibit these traits.

Overall, I'd recommend the (normally) 6L6 and (sometimes) KT88 as well as the aforementioned 300B.
Is your system extremely bright that your looking for those less than neutral traits?
I auditioned the Mac 275 and the Cary CAD 120s and chose Cary over the Mac due to the Mac sounding more SS than Tube. The Mac ran cool compared to a lot of other tube amps though.
