And depending on the tube amp, it doesn't have to sound 'bloated fat' but sometimes just a little bit of meat in the lower freqs really make a big difference in overall enjoyment. I call it 'robust and full-bodied', which to me is the opposite of lean, clean, sterile, and dry.
A high damping factor probably won't help here. I've owned amps with very high damping factor in both Class AB and Class D but that doesn't guarantee they get the bass 'right'. Tight maybe, but not 'right' for my taste. Bryston comes to mind in my experience. My 7BSST2 monoblocks were powerful and tight but otherwise the polar opposite of 'robust and full-bodied' per my description above.

I heard a Rogue Cronus integrated on some small floor standing Spendors with a VPI Traveler and Ortofon 2M Blue sound pretty darned nice at Brooks Berdan's this weekend.Nice enough that I'd investigate Rogue further if I was in the market.
See ya. Dave
