How is the OTL sound like?

dear folks,

what are these speakers have more than 8 ohm? i have Virgo II, can these match with atma sphere??
thanks

Tim

Hey Tim

I believe the Virgo's go down to 4 ohms? This would be marginal with the Atma-sphere but this is where the zero autoformer comes into play with such a load. Your other options are the Berning which by ears I trust work quite well with the Virgos.

Dynamic Speakers with greater than 8 ohms are few. Coincident is probably the best example. 8 ohms will work quite well with most OTL amps. The big Atma-sphere's and Joules supposedly work into 4 ohm loads but not anything less.

Hi, Tubegroover,

OTL is the amp i have been thinking for awhile, but always worries about the matching problem. you are right that virgos are 4 ohm, it concerns me a bit.
thanks

Tim
