OTL amplifiers

Can anyone explain to me, in layman's terms, the advantages or disadvantages of OTL amplifiers? I have heard a lot about them, but have not listened to any to date. I am really a tube fan and want to reach tube nirvana and don't know if OTL is the way to go. Are they suitable for all types of music? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

why doesn't someone ask Dfrigot where he is and see if he can hear one, feel one, seeing is always believing :)
You Berning guys are famous for that :)
Show offs :)

I agree with TWL since I have owned the Berning ZH-270A and I could not think that I will replace with another amp. I am listening every day to the Berning and it makes me addicted to my music more than ever before. But if you own the Berning and will add to it some more tweaks you will love it.

SET OTL amps

BTW, the Joule VZN80 is a Single Ended Triode OTL amplifier...

re: SET OTL amps

Same goes for Atma-Sphere.

Perhaps Twl is referring to single tube SET's.
