Re: Have any of you guys heard a Tenor amplifier?

64.12.116.7

I had the Tenor 75watt amps in my system a couple of years ago. They did not sound as neutral as the Atmasphere MA1's and the highs were not as extended either. They had a pleasant sound but I would not necessarily known that they were OTL's - I thought the Graaf GM 200 which I owned for awhile was better. I was using stock Pipedream speakers at the time which are a fairly easy load - perhaps the rave reviews were with speakers that had a more difficult load and lower efficiency. I went the other way and reconfigured my speakers to be tri-amped with a relatively high impedence (12 ohms midrange, 18 ohm highs)- and the Atmaspheres really responded. The distortion goes down and the dynamic envelope is significantly increased.
