Perhaps they're the only dynamic speakers that should be plugged into a wall outlet! (Just kidding)Yes – that is how my S3 are set up - not kidding. The OTL’s are a constant waiting power source. Speakers can be connected and unconnected at any ti...

Imo – the only thing an amateur (hobbyist / audiophile / music lover) can do is to keep to the golden rule. Change only one variable at a time. As an amateur I only need to please myself. I am selfishly in this hobby for me only. I am also my own ...
