I have NYAL Futterman OTL3s. I don't know that I would characterize them as lush and romantic: they are fast, accurate, deeply transparent with a deep and actively present soundstage.
Lush and Romantic Tube Amps
Hi All -
I am on a quest for a lush, warm and romantic tube amp. Ideally, it should be 75 watts and upwards. I’m in a large room and my speakers are 87.5 sensitivity and 8 ohm. The room is large.
The system:
LTA preamp
Innuous Zenith music server
Merason Dac 1
Cardas Clear cables
Suggestions are welcomed.

Well, Anthony Cordesman in a Aug 7, 2018 reprint of a Sep 1, 1986 review in Stereophile said of the OTL3: So I stand corrected. There are probably no NYAL OTL1 amps available. OTL3s can be found, and they are the same design as the 1, just not as powerful. |
Hi All - I’ve been slammed with work and have not had the time to reply to everyone. I did want to provide an update. After doing an in-house audition of a Rogue hybrid amp (tube and class d), and then a pass labs xa30.8 in my home for a week, I finally pulled the trigger on a Conrad Johnson classic 120 with EL 34 tubes. I’ll report back once it arrives and I’ve had a chance to let it play for a few days.
