Which 5AR4 is best for Bass.. Ruby, Sovtek, Sino, Valv Art, etc.


I am bi-amping my speakers.
The top two amps drive the electrostatic panels of my ReQuest speakers (180hz on up). I am using Mullard CV378 rectifiers in that pair.

I am looking for the best new production 5AR4 rectifiers to use in the bottom two amps, which will drive the woofers of my ML ReQuest speakers and also send signal to my Velodyne fsr-15 subwoofer (plays flat to at least 20hz) via the speaker level inputs. Since they only have to drive the woofers to about 180hz and also since they will need to be strong down to 20hz, I am interested in which 5AR4 tubes have the best bass.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
Marc.
