Why aren't OTL tube amps more popular?

I don't get it. I had a pair of MC30s and they sounded nice, especially midrange. But when I put an OTL (Transcendent Sound T8-LN) in my system it gave another level of musicality and realism. So why aren't OTL tube amps the "standard"? They outperform soncially, they don't require costly, heavy, distortion causing tranny. Is it simply that futterman design is problematic and Bruce's design is still under patent? I thought patent's were only good for 17 years? |
