I kinda hate to do this to you..

Will (4/30/07): Hello Richard, I have brought this question up to you on the phone, but thought the FAQ could benefit from it being addressed. Amplifiers are all different, and the truth is in the listening, but with that said, shouldn't OTL amplifiers offer a clearer sonic picture with a stable impedance, well designed speaker such as the 5A? Do you have any comments on OTL amplifers from your own experimentation?

Answer: HELLO WILL, IT IS TRUE. IF THERE EVER WAS A SPEAKER DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH OTL AMPLIFIERS, THE 5, 5A AND QUATRO ARE IT. THIS WAS PLANED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT ALL AMPLIFIERS SOUND BETTER INTO A REASONABLY FLAT IMPEDANCE WHEN HIGH PASSED. I HAVE HEARD THEM SOUND INCREDIBLY GOOD WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES. AS USUAL DO THE AUDITION AND FIND THE ONE YOU LIKE.
