From a glance at the manufacturer’s website your amp appears to be far more sensibly designed thermally.
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.
This is my OTL tube pick for an OTL the 6C33C tube.
I don't believe much can compete with it for current, and that the big achilles heel of OTL's

I am lucky that my listening room has 2 vents in it for cooling and temperature is easily controlled by opening/closing the vents. Very cool in summer as I live in SC and it gets very hot here, but heat from the amp is a non-issue as we have to run AC anyway. The amp gets hot but the heat sinks help plus I put Isoblocks under the footers to raise amps for circulation underneath. One vent across the room blows directly towards the amp. Just lucky, as my last amp was in same location. I really like this amp and think I am done with the search. |
moofooThat’s why I like them also when well implemented. Because it’s the closest to great Class-A solid state I have heard from a tube. (better hide, sure I’ll get flamed for this little outburst). https://dw8stlw9qt0iz.cloudfront.net/8helUHVPvP20LeKbM_SlMzQnfMw=/2000x2000/filters:format(jpeg):qua... Cheers George |
