What is the best OTL out there?

Hello. I've always been curious about OTL amplifiers, but never tried one except for the very unusual (and wonderful) Berning Siegfried, which was both SET and OTL. I wonder if there is an agreement as to which OTL currently in production can be considered to be the best. Ciao.

Yup, so 2 of the 11 are Atma-Sphere and Tenor. That leaves room for 9 other votes. Cheers,

If your wattage needs are modest, less than 20wpc, the new Music Reference OTL is absolutely amazing. Heard it a week ago on loan from Vaughn Loudpeakers. Get the one upgraded witb Eichman posts. Must be heard to be believed....
The Atma are no-brainer choices. They have the design very refined.

Try Atma-Sphere. I would be surprised if you were disappointed.

The Joule Electra Right of Passage is a pretty special amp (probably the Destiny as well, but I have not heard it). That leaves room for 8 more
