Tenor 75 Wi OTL

Just bought this OTL by Tenor.

Living in Destin FL and owning the Atmasphere S30 amp I could remove some power tubes to reduce the heat in the summer. Can this be done with the Tenor?

Kelly High End in Ca. who I bought from said the amps puts off very little heat after being on for a hour or two. BS from the seller?

Ok so these suckers run hot. A northern amp for sure. My 22' ceilings are allowing me some time in May but JJA I will have wait and see. The 15w would be a better fit for me.

The Tenor OTL is a world class amp and every positive word spoken about It is true.

Hi Glory,
How does the tone and timbre of the Tenor OTL differ(if at all) from your Atma-sphere S30 with vocals and acoustic instruments? Is one more life like or organic? I`m curious, as they`re both well proven designs.

Glory: If I remember correctly, the Tenor 15 watt monos run virtually as hot as they are class a full time.

Have a chance to get the Tenor HP 150 from Tenor.

The Tenor is mind boggling. Far above my AS S30 in every area. Bass has texture and vocals are 3D and real sounding. Duke Ellington's band sounds so natural and organic in the brass section. That is an area I never heard sound so right in my system.

Glory,
It`s funny you cite the duke. I use the CD Duke Ellington "Dance Concerts California 1958" for system/component evaluations. This sound is so natural, dynamic and just a wonderful live recording. It`s as though I`m right there with them in the dance hall.
It seems you`ve found a fabulous amplifier. Continue to enjoy it for a long time.
