that the Berning amp uses a "Impedance Converter" (as described in Hansens article that you linked to) to couple the "output" tubes (or the output of the amp if you will) to the speaker/load. Also, I think we can agree that . . . while the output tubes of the Berning amplifer are coupled to the speaker through a Impedance Convertor, "traditional" OTLs designs use no such device and the output tubes are directly or capacitively coupled to the speaker.Hmmm now maybe I should tell Jud to call his amps "direct output coupled OTLs" instead of just "OTLs"... :-) :-) :-)
