Sorry to sidetrack the thread here, but Twl inadvertantly brought up another point that i don't think that he was even aware that he was making !!! Since OTL designs would typically have a higher output impedance, wouldn't it be able to control / deliver more power to a woofer with a large impedance peak at resonance ? After all, we only run into problems in this area as SS designs put out less power at high impedances and transformer coupled tube designs are somewhat "hobbled" by the limited range of taps on the output. I wonder if Ralph at Atma or the folks at Tenor, etc... have ever played around with this theory and done testing ???
As to the original question, i would think that it would depend more on the design and the parts used than the actual method of coupling. I'm sure that either method can sound quite phenomenal with each having their own specific drawbacks. Sean
