Why no threads on OTL amps?


I looked through the old thread list and didn't find anything on OTL amps. How come? Does nobody like them? Is there something wrong with them? Would you buy/notbuy one, and why? If you would buy one, which one do you like best? I always thought OTL was the best, but there doesn't seem to be much interest here on this forum for them.

So let me understand. The idea of a OTL amp is that there is no transformer between the tubes and the speakers, right? So, here we have a transformer that's not a transformer because we don't want it to be a transformer, so the amp is OTL because we want it to be an OTL and be included in that class of amps.

Other than a desire to argue, what's the point of the debate?

Well now you've done it. You've analogized amps to exotic cars. I've had it! Having owned a 512 Ferrari, if Ferrari's or for that matter English sports cars ever ran as consistantly excellently as my Tenor 75's, they would have won every race they entered. And by the way, you can't imagine how much money I'm saving on heat this winter.

I don't know a single thing about Berning amps. I do know hollow intellectual arguments and I have spent a lifetime sniffing them out!
