Tenor 75 Wi OTL

I`ve been told by some who are familiar with the Tenor that they sound excellent. For 6 grand you may have hit the sonic jackpot.Your plan for a simple fan installation may solve your conern about heat.
Best of Luck,

Glory,
Congratulations! I know some folks who say the Tenor is the best OTL they`ve ever heard. I hope things workout for you.

Hi Glory,
How does the tone and timbre of the Tenor OTL differ(if at all) from your Atma-sphere S30 with vocals and acoustic instruments? Is one more life like or organic? I`m curious, as they`re both well proven designs.

Glory,
It`s funny you cite the duke. I use the CD Duke Ellington "Dance Concerts California 1958" for system/component evaluations. This sound is so natural, dynamic and just a wonderful live recording. It`s as though I`m right there with them in the dance hall.
It seems you`ve found a fabulous amplifier. Continue to enjoy it for a long time.

Darkmoebius,
If there`s one thing thats been demostrated often in high end audio, higher cost does`nt mean better sound.

With the very efficient Zu speakers the additional power is`nt an advantage, it`s sound quality. Often times a lower power amp will have superior sound to a larger and more complex design.

I would think most audiophiles at one time or another have heard quite expensive systems/components that sound like crap.

When I got my 300b SET amp it was less expensive than the 100 watt/60watt triode push-pull I was using, yet the "8 watt" amp sounds better.
Best Regards,

Hi Darkmoebius,
I hear you loud and clesr LOL. Sometimes when reading another person`s reply the intended humor is`nt apparent. Based on your system, you certainly appreciate low power /high quality amps also.

Glory,
You`re quite happy with the wonderful performance of your system, can you leave well enough alone and resist the urge to monkey around with it anymore? LOL.
