OTL amps on Dynamic Speakers


I am aware of the "synergy" between OTL designs and Electrostatic amps and wonder what others experiences using OTLs with Dynamic speakers. I am looking for a backup tube amp for my Duntech Black Knights and have narowed it down to either Fourier Panthere Mono OTLs or a Jadis Defy 7.

While I was not aware of the Jadis being an OTL, the Fournier is a wonderful sounding amp. Others that would do the job quite well are the Atma-sphere MA2's and the higher powered Joule Electra's.

I drove the Wilson MAXX's (92db) quite well with both the Atma-sphere's as well as the lower powered Tenor's. The MAXX's are deceptively tough to drive, complex crossover as well as a 13" and 10" woofer.

The OTL's were much more extended and natural in the highs and also sounded much quicker than the transformer based amplifiers I have had.

Go for it!
