I know nothing about OTL except transistors amps, and many are bad.
My reference in transistors are Accuphase. Tube amps have fast and clear sound if they have good transient power, like a push pull kt120 on 700V and 60mA with 100+ watts output transformers is very dynamic.
What I mean with tube computers is that we wouldn't be chatting on forums, there would be no ipods ipads and cell phones to harass us. In that sense time would be to us and we would be happier.

yes high impedance speaker winding's, its old technology, I was talking of manufactures advancing this type of speaker technologically to see if the designs could be improved on for sound and be made more durable like alot of modern speakers seem to be. i didnt meant it was new,
if any one knows people who are producing OTL equiptment, please link would love to see what they are building.
edit, sorry was talking about tube otl.

would love someone to run 'who killed bambi' by 'the sex pistols' through an auto tune and see what comes out the other end..... wonder if anyones tried it
Seems like it most be a local South Florida story, since it happened at the Breakers in Palm Beach.
Short version. During the bride and groom dance at the reception the soundman is wondering the floor mixing on his iPad. Bass player accidentally engages 20dB pad. Soundman starts boosting gain on bass, trying to make up for it. Bass players notices 20 dB pad and turns it off. Giant WOOMP! The hurricane proof windows of the ballroom almost blew out. System goes nuts. Soundman can't find his faders on the iPad to shut things down. Fumble, fumble, fumble. Wedding planner yelling in his face. At a 3 million dollar wedding. During the bride and groom dance.
At least if you're at the console you can quickly shut down the mains or whatever. No fumbling thru pages on a tablet.
thats incredibly funny.... god but what did Paul Anka do to Paul Anka
just listened to his black hole sun cover, sounds like his version is the original and sound gardens is the cover... lovin it
impedance of “voice coil” is only one of numerous factors to be juggled in the design / compromises of an audio transducer.
While I’ve never actually heard any, the first two names that come to mind are Atma-Sphere and Transcendent, no doubt Google can find many more.
Of course in an ideal world each link in the chain of an audio system would be immune to interactions with /agnostic to the design topology / characteristics of all other system components - including the room.
I'm glad I'm not addicted to those things, but can see how it's very easy to become hooked.
Ha ah ah ! I would expect Jason coming out every day saying:
Sorry for the server to be put down, we have to change 10000 tubes as we did the other day. Please have patience!
Thanks for the recap, Pano. I can relate that some of the most embarrassing moments of my life have occurred at FOH... I seem to have an ear for the job, but not the thick skin.
