Ked, I've heard good reports from Mr Sablon as well on the Quadratures.
No, any voyage into new waters is going to be via lower power triodes.

It was always a debate, calling it a zotl vs OTL is irrelevant to me. Berning quadrature is the amp name. It is different from zh270, 230, atmasphere, Einstein, tenor, and the others are also different from each other. That's what matters. Same with Alieno. Call it OTL or hybrid OTL
Will you will also call a SS pushpull an OTL?
The technical differences between OTL and ZOTL are so great that I find such generalization misleading and inadequate.
I am aware. I said they all sound different from each other and from the Berning so it doesn't really matter to me who is what I just class them (and Alieno) as OTL and focus on the sound differences.

ZOTL is only one. There is no other ZOTL apart from Berning and associated LTA to make it a classification. Same thing that went on with the long discussion on Alieno
No one knows what is the proper name to call Alieno - we were never given details enough to understand how it really works. Very different from Berning, where we have all the details.
Marc I am sure Peter would make you very welcome.
I heard his Bastanis a while back and of the systems I have heard it is the closest I can recall to your search for room filling sound.
Worth a listen
Barry, I really struggle w the Bastani tweeter. "Hot" doesn't quite describe it. Its not for me.
Barry, we all hear very differently. I've heard an early iteration a few times at my tt designer's house, and the tweeter always drew my attention.
I'm going down a v different path potentially, possibly w much lower power triodes.

I didn't like the Einstein bastani system but liked the Berning audio machina one. I also compared the Berning and the Einstein pre in both systems and preferred the Berning
By most accounts, the early versions of Bastanis do not compare well with current iterations. Go on their website and try to hear something current.
Thanks Morricab
That does seem a more likely explanation than "hearing differently" and which,of course, is distinct from different individual tastes.
Don’t get me wrong, I also was not a huge fan of the older models and have not heard the new ones but reports that have filtered back to me suggest the new ones are a large improvement.
