However, Roger Modjeski designed an OTL amplifier that became Counterpoint's first amp called the SA-4. It is probably the same design used in the big Beverage speakers, but Modjeski won't admit it even though he was involved with the Beverage project.

You are correct, the amps for the Beveridge Model II were dedicated units. I've conversed with Roger a couple of times and he's generously offered his experience regarding the Bev direct-drive OTL amps. Coincidently, Roger recently worked on these amps for me and I should be collecting them in the immediate future! Best, Sam
