Pro's and con's of different tube amps?

Just wondering if some mystery can be explained between different types of tube amps, such as: otl's, set's, push pulls, transformer coupled and others. Also your preference and with which speaker.
Thanks.

Search the threads. I'd suggest reading those authored by "Atmasphere" as being particularly enlightening.

Which SE amps don't act like a furnace and can power a 91db./8ohm speaker with a fairly flat freq. response , minimal crossover network and keep the SE family sound ? How do OTL's fit in here ? Thank you .

Saki70 (Threads \| Answers) I'd suggest going to the Atma-sphere Web site and reading Ralph's white papers on the subject of OTLs. Also, you might find this link interesting that contains some comments from Ralph: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1239956335
