Tenor 75 Wi OTL

Glory if you must have vacuum tube amplifiers look for a pair of Lamm ML2 for your efficient speakers?but try first if you can.

I borrowed the Tenors at there peak of popularity tenor then floundered shortly there after for many reasons I suppose.
My ML2 are 12 years old and still fantastic. The ML2 changed some parts then later then onto the ML2.1 and 2 and for not the better.

Looking a little deeper at Tenor back then this goes to show you the company they kept at consumer shows and dealer show rooms with the likes of Pipedreams and Karma. Marketing know how of high dollar crap aimed at the gullible with deep pockets, and it works well.

But please give them a good listen to when they arrive just to see for yourself.

I owned these amps for a few years. They put off a huge amount of heat. I live in WA and do not have AC as we only have a few days during the year that really call for it. But, with these the heat in my listening room became unbearable for long listening sessions.

Like others have said try them before you decide to dump them, they are gorgeous sounding and looking amplifiers.

My ceiling goes up to the 2nd floor loft and are 22' high. All the heat goes up there so maybe put a fan in the window and blow it out of the house?

Why did I sell my AS S30. A smart ass for sure. Maybe the seller is right and after an hour they give off very little heat LOL.

Glory,

What happened to the TRL OTL amp? Never got made?

A miscarriage. Wanted to sell a SS amp to me after the miscarriage but with my 16 ohm speakers not any SS amp will work. Talking to Zu I was told NOT to buy it as it did nor meet their specs.

OTL amps are the best sounding amps on these speakers.

So I will buy a fan and install it in the small door opening that goes to the attic to drive the trapped heat in the loft area that will be generated by the Tenor space heaters.
