Then there are OTL tube amps (which I have never heard, unfortunately!).
The two I've heard were exceptional. The first were Joule Electra Rite-of-Passage monos using MiG Foxbat 6H33 outputs driving Magneplanar 20.1s at Sea Cliff. Naturally, the rest of the system was darn good!
The other was Atma Sphere MA-2 monos driving Brian Walsh's U-1s in his incredible new room. The sound there was simply fabulous. The front end was commensurately good and his speakers have the current PX panels with higher output capability than mine. Jud Barber is no longer making the former amps, but I'd sure consider Ralph Karsten's work!

Impressive, but I don't think I could afford to retube them let alone buy them! The Mini Beast is more my style.

That's a pretty cool design! Class A OTL output like Atma Sphere with 6H30 input tubes.
Also fairly simple as OLT's go. One day I'd like to build one.

Joule Electra's product line used that big a$$ triode in multiple variations.
I was cross confusing another modern Russian military tube, the 6H30 dual triode used in my ARC preamp.
Arguably the first engineer to use both of those tubes was inmate Victor Khomenko with his BAT products. He grew up in a family who lived near and worked for the original Svetlana tube plant in St. Pete.
