Nice pic of your amp! The MA-1s are sweet I'm sure. Given the heat any moderate or larger OTL generates though, I think a more apt description is that OTL amps are (both metaphorically and physically) hot! :-) :-)
I'm working on (bringing back into service) a older pair of Joule-Electra VZN-220s (Rite of Passage 220W OTL) right now for a customer. Jeez, just got one of the amps going so far and boy do they pump out some heat (last thing my listening room probably needs in the middle of summer) when it is running, but boy do they sound good.
Happy Listening,
