Posts: 449 Joined: September 21, 1999 Happen to be considering a pair of Fourier Panthere amplifiers and am wondering what the history is on them. Supposedly these are some of the last production models and are more reliable than previous versions. I have never been an OTL owner and would use them with a pair of JBL 4365 speakers. I know the earlier version of OTL amps such as the Futterman were not the most reliable of designs, and they tended to fail catastrophically. Or at least that is what I had heard of. How reliable are the Fourier? I understand the company is out of production, how would one get them serviced? I see they use a closed case and forced air fan, what are ventilation requirements? Are they worth spending money on? Or is it more akin to own a vintage English roadster or Italian sportscar? |

There seems to be some confusion regarding the difference between circuit design and parts selection. Nt, posted on September 1, 2021 at 14:39:55 | |
