JJ, I not only loved the bass from the ML2 (SETs) but I loved the bass from the little Wright WPA 3.5 SETs! In fact, I loved everything about those amps, as long as they were "comfortable". Too bad that wasn't FR, etc. with my speakers...
in my own situation, WAY less sensitive speakers would call for WAY more power, especially if large drivers are included in the mix. Like I said, it may be that the PP triode amps I want to hear more of were breaking up on tutti, the noise heard from ~ 5" "mid-range" drivers in ridiculous audiophile speakers of unkown "efficiency". And these amps are far too expensive to just take a flyer...
FWIW, for context/comparison, when I first listened to my own ML2s there was NO DOUBT in my mind that I had made a good decision, despite they had not been used for >5 years...
As for the bass from the recently-heard PP triodes, I mean it is the best bass I've heard in this era of shopping (as opposed to "ever"...), and compared to the SS and other tube PP "bass" heard during this time.
As I "recall", Wright (RIP) also made PP 2A3s...
Shoot me a PM for small talk...
