Tenor OTL vs Hybrid


I believe there will be plenty of room for both. I own the OTL's and will get a chance to hear the Hybrids in the next week. Until I hear them in my room I won't believe one amp is superior in everyway to the other. Also, when people do the comparison, how old are the tubes in the OTL's? I'm working on my second set of tubes in a year(they run 8 to 12 hrs a day). Because I use the amps in my
business the Hybrids might make more sense. That being said, everyone who has heard the Tenor OTL's in my system has loved them. Lets get some feedback from both sides.

Hi guys,

I too am very interested responses to this thread, and in conclusions drawn from the afore-mentioned listening session .... especailly if the OTLs were in fact packed up and included for comparson in that session. I know the hybrids would make sense for someone driving a 4 ohm load in a larger room for extended periods (lucky dude you are Saxman2....I need to get into that business!), but what about the sound when considered independently of the expense of retubing, and when evaluated in a room of more modest proportions? I am interested because like Saxman2, I have Verity Audio Parsifal/Encores, and am looking seriously at both these amps, as well as those from Lamm.

Thanks in advance for any input.
If you are still interested in hearing my thoughts please let me know. I'm sure Saxman2 (Randy) would let you know what he thought too.
Hello Panorama

Thanks for your response. I did in fact speak with Randy (aka Saxman2.... I could not get him to take me on as "Saxman3 The Apprentice"), who gave me quite a detailed account of his impressions. If you think your opinion may differ from that of Randy's, then I would be interested to have your take as well.

Thanks again to both you and Randy.
