RE: Current KT88 with least bass bloat

Have to disagree Ozzy.
While it is true that the Rogue lacks the common tube amp sound of yesteryears (slow thick sound, rolled off highs, loose bass, etc.) it sounds nothing like the solid state amps I have owned (Bryston, Sim Audio, Quad 606).
My Rogue sounds like the tubes I put into it. If I load it with Mullard EL34s, Mullard 12ax7s and RCA grey glass 6sn7s I can make it sound like a very tubby tube amp. Even with fast linear tubes like KT66 it still sounds like a tube amp.
Different tube amps sound different, just like different solid state amps sound different. If you don't like the Rogue sound, hey its a free country! Buy a EL34 amp with tube rectification if you like that sound. No right or wrong in this hobby, if it sounds good to you enjoy!
