Dear Gordan

I don't advokat for any amp solution except for what I find best myself, by *trial and error*

With OTL's I have very little positive experience due to the fact I don't like their most common signature. Agressivity.

You have likely no gain problem (9 db!) due to the fact your AltmaGC DAC spits out 3V RMS, but are you sure you will marry that DAC until Kingdom come?

Would you use TVC's? Would you use noisy tube preamps on your 114 db speakers?

Stephan points out some of the things you should address in your interest of this product.

Reading the advert from this manufacturor would not call for the slightest interest even I have speakers like yourself. But I don't say the amp flaws. How could I know? Never heard it.

If you are into tube amplification there are many good options out there, even with trafoes coupling to the speakers. Even they would not be SET's.

But OK, 400 bucks I would gladly spent if I had any believe in the product itself.
