TSE X50 reamped > tube PA + real cab can compete with real 5150/6505 amp + cab ??

As seen on some videos, preamp out of 5150/6505 gear and TSE X50 is really close in term of sound, so what matters is power amp + speaker choice on real gear or impulse/convolution choice on emulations.

Here is my question: what if I buy a reamp gear to get the X50 line out signal to my tube power amp and real cabinet ?

If the gear is good, will it sound good ?

For info, I've got a Peavey Classic 50/50 tube power amp (with EL84 :zzz: ) and cab with EVM12L and V30 speakers.

(I tried to do some "poor man" DIY reamp session with some 6.35 jack out from my mixer line out to the tube power amp input, and the sound was somehow thin, really lacked low end compared with my real gear and my PSA1 preamp which sounded really thick and ballsy in comparison. With this cheap reamp technique, it was playable but thin...)

Thanks ! :)
