System synergy seems to be one of those elusive elements. Sources, preamp,and other electronics aside for only a moment ( every aspect of a systemis important), I wonder if perhaps what you are enjoying about your friends system is the direct radiation of the speakers. Where your Quads, highly respected of course, are emitting both front and back, maybe you have found a potential inclination for directly radiating dynamic transducers. I can say this has happened to me on a couple of occasions that I remeber well.
Feeling slighly under the weather I'll keep this shorter for now, but, like you, also own a Transcendent OTL, actually two, as well as an assortment of DHT triode SET amplifiers. We tried a classic 2a3 design I built years ago, and after about an hour I changed out to the T16 OTL. Wonderful. Warm yet detailed-- highly musical, perhaps not unlike your own experience.
We are presently using the amp with Klipsch la scalas. If you would like to try ypur amp with a pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers, I will send them to you. The combination with the TS OTL is outstanding IMO.
