Coincidentally, I happened to be looking at tube amplifiers last night on aliexpress.com. I was looking for one to add to my collection, as they are known to produce a smooth, warm, loud, clear, subtle and seamless sound at high frequency.

Had a Us amps with tubes and it really didnt sound any different than my Audison amps I had back then even after upgrading it with gold lion tubes. Unless you're willing to drop 4k on a Milbert; tubes in car audio is a gimmick imo.

What the heck is a Milbert? I've been into car audio since 87', never heard of Milbert.
