What is the best OTL out there?


Hello. I've always been curious about OTL amplifiers, but never tried one except for the very unusual (and wonderful) Berning Siegfried, which was both SET and OTL. I wonder if there is an agreement as to which OTL currently in production can be considered to be the best. Ciao.

I have had the ZOTL 40 for about 3 days and it is killer. I heard it at the Newport show and went ahead and pulled the trigger finally. This is David Bernings most recent design but is built by a small company called Linear Tube Audio. Mark Schneider has assembled a fine team of engineers and is capable of producing these a bit faster than David by himself has been able to in the past. Another plus is the very reasonable price for this new line.

i am enjoying the best my room has ever sounded and it's much better than what I heard at Newport not that it sounded bad. My Janszen zA2.1's have never sounded so good and more than enough power. If you are familiar with David Bernings amps, I also own his ZH230 which was the best sounding amp ive ever heard until I got this ZOTL 40.
