I've had Atma-Sphere M-60 and Transcendent T16 OTL's and a variety of SET amps, as well as push-pull pentode and tetrode amps. I agree that the OTL's probably can be the fastest and perhaps the most spacious sounding amps. However, all three types can sound great and without stereotypical shortcomings, when matched with the right speakers. Better SET amps may be the most musical, and definitely need not be slow. I think my SE 300b amps with Tango transformers and C3M drivers (following Thorsten), grid chokes, etc. are very fast and transparent as well as natural. Also like interstage coupled SE 45, HK Citation II, and am slowly getting together things for DC SE 2A3.

I think that you are stuck arguing with "I like" rather than what they can measurably do - richardl 17:01:42 09/09/15 (0)
