Ironically, the "best" musical bass I have gotten is from the ML2s 16 Ohm taps, which seems to fly in the face of both the concept and the obvious problems that the Z/load creates.  What I am saying is that despite the "kitty's furry belly" problem, the harmonics and general musical character of the bass is either a separate issue or there are other forces at work in this equation that I do not yet understand. Given the truth that inheres in your observations, Romy, it still seems like Zarathustra would be the most fruitful path.

I do not know if it would be accurate. I am reviewing now my view of bass reproduction.  Something is very interesting in single-ended bass. Usually people look at bass they see quality of max amplitude but what most interested me lately is to look at bass as low amplitude. An amplifier is like a 16-bit D/A converter – at minus 10dB you have good signal but as long you dive at minus 80dB you begin to see garbage. The PP amp might do impressive loud bass but SET what it very interesting is the bass that a SET doe at 5% of own power – very special feeling….

Still, I do not how to look at it farther - I never finished the Zarathustra II and I do not have any other “better” amp. At this point I do not look for anything better of different as the LF channel of Milq it looks like an handle my room. I am non-violently looking at a big ass-amorphous core bass transformer but I do not know if I go there as it would require putting second order filter on bass…
