Atmasphere amps trustable?


Tube world, a big world, then I came acorss the Atmasphere on the net, looks different from those common tube stuff... kinda weird, the M-60 uses 8x 6AS7G output tube and 4x 6SN7 driver tube per channel, where're the rectifier tubes? Plus they're so-called OTL, sounds even more weird.

I have owned M60s for 17 years.  I first purchased them as a kit, and then I had them upgraded in 2007.  I have changed the tubes once in all that time.  They were absolutely reliable even though I drove some difficult loads with them.  I used them to drive my Quad 2805s.  I also want to say that heat has never been an issue.  The 100W Wavestream Kenetics Boxters that I am using now to the drive the Quads generate much much more heat.  They are standard push-pull amps based on 4 6550s (KT88s) each.
