In Reply to: Why are OTL amps not so popular posted by JoeRB on July 21, 2012 at 03:27:56:
I have heard these several times and liked them quite a bit. However, they are large, hot, low power and have high output impedances which means that they require a flat impedance speaker and high impedance speaker to sound good and that type of speaker is rare.
