OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s


OK I'm in the market looking for an OTL amp to mate with a pair of Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s. The speakers are rated at 93 dB and 4 ohms. My room size is 16 x 19 x 8 so its not too large or too small. So far I have on my list:

Atma-Sphere
Joule Electra
Transcendent
Tenor

Are there any others that people recommend I consider?

Wb6rhq brings up an interesting point here, he's kind of right when he says that the Berning is not a OTL amp, if you mean OTL in the respect of the 50-60 year old design that is still being currently used by most OTL designs.

Technology has come a long way since then, the Berning uses a RF matching transformer, the audio signal is piggy backed on a RF frequency, the transformer is therefore for the RF frequency, not the audio signal, which gets a trouble free ride, what you end up with is a new type of OTL, sophisticated cutting edge, able to drive low impedance.

So the question is, do you want to listen to music as it was reproduced 50 years ago, maybe?
The other choice is to listen to music as it can be reproduced today, with today's technology, designed by a brilliant Physicist.

You should hear two ZH270's strapped Mono, your speakers wouldn't know what hit them :)
These tiny little giants are just awesome, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Certainly breaks the mold " bigger is better" doesn't it?

Tubegroover.....Awesome in Mono's
Bernings ZH270's is everything you want and nothing you don't..... well it could be bigger and prettier but then again, it could cost $10K.

I bet you if the ZH270 had a line of tubes going out the door and was the size of your microwave and consume the same amount of power as it, people would really be impressed :), even if it does not sound as good as it does now.

I once sold one to a guy that thought I sent him a little scaled model of the amp :)
For those that remember Berning amps back in the 70's, they were big, really big but still cutting edge back then, some had high speed switching power supplies.
