As mentioned about a thousand times before - The new production 70's are NOT the same as the original. Having had both they don't even sound similar!
The newer versions tweaked out a few dozen typical vintage shortcomings as well as what you call "the farty bass".
Yes the original was jokingly called the poor mans McIntosh. But again as mentioned a thousand times, almost every builder cut their teeth on the 70 and many builder - and yes even companies still use it as a basic design platform.
The modern versions 70 can not only compete with the Mac but in many ways surpass it.
