Having owned double digit OTL and SET amps, from low power to high power versions of each, I can assure you that the sound of neither type of amp can be stereotyped. There are some lean, some neutral, and some fat versions of each. There are dynamic and less than dynamic versions of each. Some of each are very sensitive to speaker load and some of each seem relatively insensitive to speaker load. I've heard a 2 watt OTL sound more powerful into an easy load than a 100 watt OTL. I've heard 20 watt versions of 2 different SET amps using the same tubes into the same speaker with one sounding very powerful, tight, and dynamic and the other sounding weak and strained.
No specs will allow you to figure this out without trying, and no manufacturers' claims will allow you to figure this out. You need to hear the combinations somewhere or try them yourself.
