What amp/ preamp combo has the most Gorgeous, Lifelike Tonality?

[Bjorn]

Isn't this in reality yesterdays hifi approach?
Today we have both EQ and EQ plugins (like valve sound) that can alter the sound the way you want it. This can be implemented by pressing a button and remove it the same way.

Why lock oneself to one tonality or distortion and also pay a lot of money for it when it's possible to achieve something far more for far less combined with great flexibility.

Would love to hear the Koda 70 amp. (...)

Fortunately they are not available in my country. Except for price, they seem to fulfill all points of my check list for the ideal amplifier for the XLF ...

Let us know how that goes for you Bjorn. I personally want to just listen and enjoy and not sit at a DAW with near field monitors. It is easy but not necessarily cheap nor enjoyable.

That is what I thought about the NAT Symbiosis SE but in the end it was not quite that way...close but no cigar....

Near field monitors?
Nothing of what I mentioned implies near field monitors.
