set vs otl, which is the most musical

Set and otl amps are almost opposites in terms of many aspects of circuit design. Which of the two designs is the most musical (define musical in your own terms as there is likely not to be a universal definition acceptable to all). Which do you prefer and why?

I completely disagree

I have Lamm ML 2.1's at 18 wpc driving my behemoth Wilson X-2 Alexandria speakers. I have owned literally every high end amp available and I can say that I will never buy another amp. These are as good as it gets.Bear in mind as well that it all depends on the sensitivity of ones speakers. Mine are rated at 95 Db.

"the point: there is no best anything. it's a matter of taste."

I completely agree.

Yes, I have owned CJ. Not my cup of tea at all.

I will still take SET any day over OTL.

BTW, I don't like the LAMM Reference preamp. I had it and gave it the boot. Presently have the ARC Ref 3 which is magnificent but then that is my taste. The Lamm ML 2.1 with the Ref 3 is for me as good as it gets.
