Rodney, hi. Yup, you got it. There is a certain magic that can be had with OTL in the right set up with the right speakers. I am a fan of the OTL notion. I have heard them do wondrous things. The reality is that in the "real" world there is always a downside to every upside. It is only opinion, born of experience, that any time you tie together a whole bunch of output tubes you are creating a situation where the signal can be degraded: micro subtleties, the edge on transients, etc. Think about any dynamic devices tied together to perform as one. You can do it, but something may be lost or fuzzed up in the process. The Futterman scheme runs the audio through a whopping capacitor at the output to block the B+. The Circlotronic does not. Cordially.
