Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
mikelavigne, again you're so right, let's face it, at $4500.00, there has to be some compromises in the Zh-270 compared to the Tenor 75wi, I would have to concede that with the right speaker the ZH-270 cannot be in the same league as the 75wi.Yes,...

jtinn, maybe you're right, I certainly can't dispute that but I am certainly open to showing everyone what a Berning is capable of, against any amp.

I have had a number of e-mails from people interested in knowing more about the direct drive.Here is a link to a picture of one of the David Berning Prototype Mono's amp/direct drive.The Garfield ruler is to remind me of what will happen to me if ...

I feel the only true way to do these comparisons, is at a show with the true and the brave manufacturers willing to do a fun comparison, with different cables and all.It's really not a shoot out or a test, as always taste/preference will have a bi...

How about this guys, since Tenor is in Canada, there is the Montreal show next year, March.How about we all met in that wonderful city and have a blind test with Bernings, Tenors, Lamms and who ever wants to bring what.Maybe a type of club an ask ...

John.The 270's are easily strapped into Mono, some Berning customers do this now, it's however only necessary if you have a speaker that needs more power, there seems to be no degradation running the 270 mono but I would not think it would better ...

Go back :) it's killing me. 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
The Mono blocks uses the same tubes as the 270, however the power supply is beefier and some other differences.These amps were really design and built as direct drives, they were sent to Roger West at sound lab, who to my conclusion was amazed by ...

Sometimes presentation can be altered to taste or preference, this is a very big factor, so it's really hard to say, I bet, had they experimented with the feedback switch, there also would be several different opinions on which position sounded th... 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
The feedback switch can be dramatic, the size of the sound stage is greatly altered, as well as bass.It however may not be enough to change the out come, after all, most ZH-270's are in systems not costing as much as the Tenor alone, the 270 is no...

David, you forgot the feedback switch, oh no, you have to go back now, we need to find out what it's like with lower feedback with this system :)Understandable in your system, feedback was preferred but with this other system, I think low feedback...

Wonderful Del, well written indeed.Tireguy, I am glad to see that your Little nuts are metric :) a sorry try at a garage joke :)This is what audio is all about, nice people trying things out, with real un-biased conclusions.Thanks so much guys.Allan 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
Yes, you are so right but not everyone has that luxury to find the perfect speaker with the perfect impedance match, and for some, the perfect speaker is an electrostatic, or some sort of Planer, in which case normal amps have difficulties with, f...

Wonderful observations, a great job in describing the differences, I wish I had been there :)Now, if you really want to compare oranges and oranges, I have a pair of prototype Berning mono blocks that would retail for $15,000.00.let's set somethin... 
Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic?
As far as the audio signal is concern, there is nothing between the tube and the speaker terminal.That is what makes it so unique :)So yes, debating whether it's the terminology or the actuality that makes it an OTL, or not, will never cease, that...
