A bit of a generalization...

Not all OTLs are the same. There's a pretty wide range of experience with them- for example Futtermans tend to sound more like conventional push-pull amps (owing to a large amount of feedback), but a lot more transparent. Our amps have no feedback and thus do sound different.

So a hard and fast comparison against the 'average' SET is a bit tricky. But then, I have to assume that not all SETs sound the same either... but I do find that the smaller ones sound better, at the sacrifice of power. With our OTLs at least it seems the bigger we make them the better they sound, which flies in the face of the conventional wisdom.
