Bruce Rozenblit designs great sounding OTL amps. IMHO he is the best tube amp designer out there. I bought one and for its intended purpose, high efficiency single driver speakers, I doubt you could do better. The sound is smooth, detailed, very full ranged with typical Transcendent Sound bass, better than any other tube amp. Rated at 1 1/2 Watts into an 8 Ohm load, the amp is the strongest 1 1/2 Watts I have ever experienced. The SE-OTL isn't for everybody. Because it is a true Class A OTL, it generates a lot of heat for its size. If you have really efficient speakers, Horn Shoppe Horns, Lowthers, or such, having an 8-16 Ohm load, you will be rewarded. I like to describe the sound like pure drops of water, crystal clear, with depth, and substance. I don't want to listen to SET amps any more. Steve F
