I'm well aware of your discovery. But I find it somehow a cheap trick. This is a purely irrational feeling, absolutely irrelevant for you and your system.

I world not call it irrational, in fact it is very rational and I very much share this feeling. I do agree that it is a cheap trick and nothing more them a half-ass solution.  To have 4 active tube stages for a stinky filters – ridicules. However, this is what I have in my disposal and let agree that gong from a tube crossover with 12AX7 and a mass-consumer power amp to 150W DSET amp is a LARGE move.

I am under no delusion that what I doing now with ULF amplification is architecturally non-kosher.  However, I also would like to know how much REAL practical difference the 150W DSET would make against a PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED “bass package".  BTW, I do not feel that I have properly implemented “bass package”. I have what I have and in my estimation the properly implemented “bass package” shall be much better then what I have now and I have very specific list of things the I do not like in my bass now. Still, the whole direction where I went with my bass I do feel promising.
