Thought on OTL tube amps


Just curious....how do these sound/perform compared to tube amps with transformers? Why do you prefer one or the other? Any particular brands of OTL amps you would recommend listening to? You can see my system on my tag here...listen mostly to rock and roll with a smattering of jazz and a bit of classical once in a while. The next stop on my amplifier adventure is an OTL model, and I have no intention of trading it for either SET I currently have, as I'm very happy with both. One of the ways I enjoy experimenting with different "sound" is by switching up the amps. Just trying to solicit some opinions, of which I know there are many strong ones here at A-Gon. Thanks in advance!

The Atma-Sphere web site (Atma-Sphere.com) has several "white papers" explaining many of your questions. I own a pair of M60Mk2.2's. Absolutely stable, (you can even short the outputs, and switch output tubes while running, though I would not recommend doing so (I have seen Ralph Karsten do it) and I have had no problems. Happy Listening.
