Berning ZH270 + AP Virgos = magic?

If I may add, imagine a Ph.D. of Physics assembling the amp for you.
Tubegroover, thanks to you, I heard from Allan that mine is to be shipped early next week. I will definitely report to you.

Tubegroover, it is an OTL, it's just a new type of OTL, as a Glass audio reviewer puts it, a unique approach to the output transformerless problem.
The word unique, being very understated :)

You won't get an argument from me Allan. But to the purist, an OTL amplifier is one that has nothing between the tube plate and the speaker terminal, in other words, direct coupled. As an OTL enthusiast it is a moot point to me as the Berning, I am sure, would compare favorably with the best of them and improve in some areas. I certainly don't want to open that debate again in this thread.

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 is of course until the patent runs out and others can copy it.

I have never heard the combo in question, but am quite confident that it would be a good match. I own a 270, and have personally run a variety of different speakers ranging from Magnepans 1.6qr, and 3.6 to Dunlavy scIV/A's. I have also heard it drive a pair of full range Sound Labs. Not once did it seem underpowered or slow. In fact, quite the opposite. The ZH270 running the Magnepan 3.6 was quite a stunning combination. The Virgos From what I have heard are capable of very good detail and dynamics. This being the case the Berning might just be a match made in heaven.

Best of Luck,
