Brucegel: I think that OTL's are a LOT harder to get to work well than a standard tube amp with output transformers. The transformers lend a WIDE margin of "buffer zone" to a tube amp. Without that buffer zone, the linearity and overall performance of the circuit is forced to bare its' soul into whatever load you throw at it. Most designers / manufacturers aren't willing to risk their reputations by taking the chances that OTL designs and the various loudspeaker loads force upon them.
Like anything else, if you are good at what you do, regardless of what it is and what it costs, you will have people to market your product too. OTL designs are no different than any other part of the market, even though it may be a smaller segment overall. Sean
