"what does the speaker see??? what does the push pull amplifer section of the amp see?? "

the speaker “sees” the tube transfer characteristics and the tubes “see” the speaker’s dynamic characteristics.

Just at it would in any direct coupled OTL.

No amount of emulation of any output transformer can do that :)

"I think calling other types of amplifer designs OTLs does a diservice to the audiophile public becuase they MAY very well think they are getting/seeing/reading about a direct coupled OTL when they are not."

Are all production cars internal combustion, with either a automatic or manual transmission, are all TV's vacuum tube, you need to be blasted into space by big rockets? At one time or another, the answers to all these questions would have been yes but not anymore.

Electric powered cars are not cars?
Plasma TV's are not TV's
Flying a plane into space is not space travel?

By not letting the audiophile public know that they have choices over what was conventional with the same results, is really the disservice.
