Thanks for all your inputs! I see a clear convergence on Atma-sphere, and I will definitely look into it. A friend of mine has their MP1 preamp and raves about it. I suspect that something like the combination MP1 and their M60 amplifier might be very interesting. I have a pair of stacked quads to drive, and I don't need more than 50WPC.
I personally think Berning is a genius based on what I listened to (as I said I had a Siegfried and also some of his earlier non-OTL amps), but I wonder if he is overpriced relative to the competition.
A friend of mine (a famous musician and serious audiophile) swears his favorite amp ever is a Tenor. Never had a chance to look into it. On the negative side, he also said it had some reliability issue.
