Gs & Cluless
The disadvantage (inconvience) I speak of is not of any but consideration of ownership of such an amp that would be a space heater in their room. So far as OTL topology goes Gs, even Class AB OTL's (Transcendent) do run hot because they have so many output tubes although the heat output is less than a Class A topology (Joule, Atma-sphere, Tenor) Many would not consider an OTL simply because of this factor, too bad. Living in Florida or a warm climate is a consideration but it becomes less so after listening.
