RE: OTL vs SET

Really depends more on the execution than the type, IMO. My GM70 based DHT amplifier does not really sound like a stereotypical SET amplifier in that "beautiful" or "lush" isn't the proper word to describe its sound. If anything, I would say it sounds bold and muscular. It only puts out 22 watts but drives speakers that some conventional 100 watt push-pull amps can not.

I've owned many OTL amps over the years - Counterpoint SA-4, Luxmax MQ-36, Graaf GM-20, Silvaweld OTL Reference, Futterman H3/OTL3/OTL4, Atma M60 in various versions, etc - so I know the OTL sound pretty well.

I would say good amplifiers sound very similar to each other regardless of the design.
