How is the OTL sound like?


Hi I would like to know how is the OTL Amp sound like? Solid State or Tube. I heard many discussion about these amp but never have chance to listen to one.

Thanks

I've owned 2 OTL amps and I liked the sound of both of them very much. I still have one of them, and expect to keep it for a long time. It is very hard to go back to traditional output transformer amps after hearing a good OTL amp.

I agree with most of the above comments, especially the one about using speakers that have 8 ohm loads or more. The output impedance of OTL amps is usually higher than transformer coupled amps, and the higher speaker load gives them a better match.
