SET vs OTL


Could someone tell me the difference between a single-ended triode amp and an output transformerless amp?

Is it true that despite its operational inconveniences, a good OTL (eg Tenor Audio) will always sound more "natural" than a good SET (eg a Cary 300SE)?

Thanks

Gotta side with Paul on this one. My Wyetech Sapphire monoblocks use two 300Bs in parallel per side (18 wpc) and sound exactly like Paul describes: "crystal-clear, just right, completely natural", and certainly not lush. And these are 300Bs! And they drive monitors with a wild impedance swing as well.
