@realdeal,
OTL owners always say that the brand they own is best even though they haven't heard any other brands (not quoting you verbatim here since your choice of wording was so vague/unfortunate). I would say that your observation is largely correct, just as it would be for the SET crowd, the push/pull pentode contingency, the solid state class A fanboys, etc., etc.
Bottom line, this approach is endemic to virtually all audio discussions concerning any audio gear genre you wish to become involved with. Get used to it.
