The problem I have with a previous post is with the use of the word "superior."
This presupposes that:
1. The poster is the arbiter and ultimate authority of what’s superior
2. Superiority is a given or an absolute
It would be infinitely more accurate to say you, or I, or we "prefer"
...which surprisingly (or is that unsurprisingly) is used to describe the state of those who "prefer" SET amps.
My point is that the words we use are important...
Let’s use them with greater care and strive for comity in this amazing hobby of ours.

[On "superior"]
So far to my Ears with my current experience OTL are superior over any SET Amplifiers in almost any way and so far over any Solid State Amplifiers too.
...OTL Is Superior Amplifier ( I dont intend to tick anyone off) This is based on my life journey as a Audiophile.
[On "preference"]
If you want super lush sounding or slightly colored music then SET would be your weapon of choice but that is more to do with preference
