I think it is equally as misleading to call the Berning amp an OTL as it is to say that it is not an OTL. It is an Unconventionally Coupled Output, the one and only "UCO". As for your beef re coupling caps, some folks do distinguish cap-coupled amps from direct-coupled ones and refer to a direct-coupled OTL as an "OCL (Output Capacitor-Less) OTL". But my point is, who cares? The Berning is a brilliant original creative design that sounds great, and I for one would welcome ZOTL owners to this website. OTLs and their owners have been slandered for decades, so we cannot afford to be undemocratic now that we have our own website.

Thank you so much for having an open mind.
It's not so much for the recognition of it being a OTL amp, as for it not being categorized into anything else which it is not, that stems our obstinacy.
If the Berning owners can freely communicate their interested here without discourse, then that is all we can ask.Allan

Lew,I agree. Who really cares. I never bought into the hype of "is it or isn't it" really an OTL. As a former ZH270 owner for three years, I found it to be one damn fine sounding amp. If I could have swung the bucks to keep it and the JE VZN, I would have.
For me, it's a large tent and there is plenty of room for ZOTL folk IMHO.
