More Tuberisms

Hello all,
After reading recent posts on tube amps, I'm having some thoughts of my own on this issue.
I'm currently running a BA5000 ss amp that I really like.
I also own a pair of highly modified Hafler XL 600s that are in mono.
These amps now have tube pre stages installed.
One amp needs service however.
This brings me to the problem.:rolleyes:
Do I spend the money on repairs to bring these amps back to life, or will I not like the tube sound???
I've talked to George Kay, the guy that did the mods, and he has agreed to service the amps.
But the BA5000 really kicks butt in the bass Dept. and I'd hate to loose a lot of low end.
Do you guy's think that being a Hy-brid design, that I may not loose a ton of bass??
Also supposedly these amps run at three times the power of the BA.
So I'm wondering if the extra power would compensate for the lack of low end, if there was some??
Thanks in advance for your ideas,
Lefty
