I'm a dealer for... let's see... roughly a dozen different one-driver speakers (some high-efficiency cones and some full-range electrostats) from three different manufacturers, and OTL's work well with all of them. A single-driver full-range cone is usually an easy load to drive, and usually likes an amp with a fairly high output impedance (to flesh out the bass a bit), so OTL's tend to work very well there. Full-range electrostats typically have a much nastier impedance curve and lower efficiency, but a powerful OTL amp can sound absolutely wonderful on electrostats. In particular, the high impedance load that electrostats typically present in the bass region is a major problem for most amps, but OTL's aren't the least bit bothered by it.Duke
