Tenor 75 Wi OTL

"Looking a little deeper at Tenor back then this goes to show you the company they kept at consumer shows and dealer show rooms with the likes of Pipedreams and Karma. Marketing know how of high dollar crap aimed at the gullible with deep pockets, and it works well."

Your comments are interesting Blackburn. At that same show I heard the Lamms matched with the Kharma 2-way, 3.2 I believe? In any case I found that set-up among the best at the show. I was quite taken by the Lamm amps and now completely understand the buzz on that amp. The Pipedream/Tenor set-up was in a large room and in my experience under show conditions it is much more difficult to make a large speaker come together in such a short period of time. While the sound certainly wasn't bad it wasn't magical either. In any case it was quite easy to recognize the transparency and musicality of the Tenor amps, the speakers seemed to be the issue.

I've always been impressed with Tenor amps in friends systems back in the day---if my speaker would work well with them (Zu Def2), they would definitely be a consideration.

Look forward to hearing more thoughts on the sound with the Presences Glory.

Ok so these suckers run hot. A northern amp for sure. My 22' ceilings are allowing me some time in May but JJA I will have wait and see. The 15w would be a better fit for me.

The Tenor OTL is a world class amp and every positive word spoken about It is true.

Hi Glory,
How does the tone and timbre of the Tenor OTL differ(if at all) from your Atma-sphere S30 with vocals and acoustic instruments? Is one more life like or organic? I`m curious, as they`re both well proven designs.

Glory: If I remember correctly, the Tenor 15 watt monos run virtually as hot as they are class a full time.
