that an intelligent matching of an OTL to speakers will always be rewarded. Don't make your OTL drive Apogee ribbons or some 4-ohm, 5-way behemoth conventional speaker, in other words.
If I were ever to get away from ESLs, the Silverline products would be high on my list, along with anything made by Duke LeJeune.

Lew, I have spoken with Duke and 'will own'
his speakers 'one day'... Not an easy choice
which exact one...Honestly I have yet to manage the emotion
of selling other gear in the main system where
I would use them. Things are kind of a jumble
at home, a good thing for an(y single) audiophile.**Having just experienced MA1/MA2s driving Sound Labs
at Brian Walsh's, I thoroughly understand the wonderful
marriage you are so fortunate to know of first hand.

The first pair of Duke's Zephrin 46s in the midwest, introduced at the recent THE Show in Newport Beach, are due to arrive here next month, painted (at my request) in a copper metallic automotive finish (shown below) and with the optional grilles. The M-60s await. Saturday, August 23rd...be here for the cookout and listening party (RSVP).

So much music, so little time!
a '76 to '79 Turbo or a non-Turbo with options added?
Your Sound Labs presumably have the latest toroids, as opposed to the Australian (very non-factory) option, I would guess.
But yes, a late '70s 930, I believe. Shown here for the color, which will be used for the Zephrin 46s coming. It took quite a bit of digging around to find the color, the paint code, and sources of the paint. But I think the results will be worth it.
Yes, my U-1PXs have the Toroid IIs, a nice upgrade.

Remarkably cool Brian, thank you for sharing in recent demo
and prospects of a listen to Dukes new masterpieces.
Based upon an update from Duke, it looks as though the unfinished cabinets will be ready by around Monday the 21st, maybe sooner, then go for painting and probably be ready for the goodies to go in a week later. If everything goes smoothly I could get them around the end of the second week in August. Not to worry, though, you'll be one of the first people to know :-)
I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate the automotive paint finish will be a popular option even though it'll add several hundred dollars to the cost. It will be interesting to see how many people order the optional grilles. I did a design for them and sent Duke samples of some stuff to attach them to the cabinets. Also will have some nifty feet to put under them...relatively inexpensive but ridiculously effective.
