Hi Andy,
Sorry for taking so long to responed to your post here.
First a quick note about OTLs... modern day OTLs are very reliable and do not destroy speakers or send DC down to them. All the modern day designs that I have seen that are currently in production are designed so that fuses or other protection methods will trip to prevent damage to speakers should a failure occur. Unless you try break a tube and stick you fingers into the powered exposed open tube elements, these amps are not dangerous.
I need to get some facts from you about your set-up before making any futher reccomendations:
1) Room set-up. I will need to know where the speakers are placed, what kind of stands they are on, size of the room, where the listening position is.
2) Your gear should work quite well with the speakers, but I do have my concerns about the speaker cables and interconnects in use. Are the speakers single wired? Are you using the RC networks? Are you using any kind of power conditioning or power cords with the gear? If so, what kinds?
Once I get a more complete picture of what is happening, we can figure out what is happening and get things sounding much better! :-)

Happy Listening,
Rich Brkich
