SET vs OTL
It's hard to argue in words and win the war,what we need is to A-B these things  side by side and I hope somebody will initiate  a fest for audio fanatics  into reality.  
SET vs OTL
I would say that a well designed SET 2A3/300B  has the warm sound than also well designed an OTL having the same output wattage. 
SET vs OTL
Lets be transparent with  OTL what is bad and what is good about it not just trying to promote your own product.I know that most all pre amp are OTL.Not all OTL are the same.I hope we can Blind test  otl out there 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Please review your your electrical circuits about series /parallel of resistance,inductance and capacitance,I don't like to trash anybody but there is no point in  continuing  the discussion if the  theory is not fully  understood. 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Most OTL design  require high high impedance speakers,flaws in the design that these amps should work without these impedance matching,but not all OTL have these inherent disadvantage,I have an OTL using KT120 or VV52/300B output tubes  that welco... 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Paralleling a choke/inductor/coil in the amps 4 ohms output will  be  less than 4 ohms and same thing to a voice coil of 4 ohms will  be  less than 4 ohms due to ohms law,then sound will be louder due to less resistance and more current.The only w... 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Al,That's their selling point plus the exotic wooden case, which has nothing to do with sound or else  zero will not be in bizznes,I already ask him,the autotransformer maker  about if it kills dymanics and  he said decide it yourself.Auto transfo... 
Thought on OTL tube amps
The output can not be equal to input always,How do you categorize amplifier with an output transformer?OTL?Are we going in circle?or we might just go back to SE or PP.The mean reason why  these amp were design is that they will work without OPT. 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Using the Zero in OTL, kill dynamics and will not be OTL anymore.Going back to  PP. 
Thought on OTL tube amps
Using the Zero nullify an OTL status.You already get rid of transformer then put new Transformer?Whats happening? going in circle? 
What is the best OTL out there?
Most OTL  are not producing enough plate dissipation for a pair of tubes,Imagine for a pair of 6c33c tube with max.of 60 watts plate dissipation can produce more than 25 watts class A of power, 3 x of 300b output in SE. 
OTL amplifiers
I think it's very WRONG to use the ZERO,You get out of not using an output transformer and there you are using them again.What is the use of using an OTL with transformer at the OUTPUT??
