tooppy, if you are still in search of single ended triode sound, this is the harmonics signature to look for, note the dominant second (even) harmonic over third (odd) harmonic in FFT measurement.

I moved into the mountains of Andrews NC, between Murphy and Bryson City NC.  ;)

I would love to know the feeling of Transcendent owners.
The feeling that SE amps give comes from even harmonic distortion which is typically described as "warm" sound.  If you look at the harmonic distortion measurement of Transcendent OTL New Mini, it has stronger odd harmonic distortion at 3K Hz as opposed to even harmonic at 2K Hz.  https://www.transcendentsound.com/images/mini-beast/mini%20beast%20half%20watt%20thd@2x.png  It may have lower distortion level but has the characteristics of push-pull amp.  If you want that "warm" sound, you want to look elsewhere.

Sonic, yes this Transcendent is SE, look above the picture.

Are you trying to diy it?  If so, look up Tubelab SSE or SE.  Cheaper, more output and better harmonic characteristic for single ended amp.  That Transcendent harmonics don't look good (not single ended like).  https://www.transcendentsound.com/mini-beast.html

Hi all,

This is a very long time I didn't peep around ! I am pleased to see that most names are still around.
I have a question for you all experts. What would you prefer as amp for a 92/97db 8ohm speakers, some single full range and some two ways , Transcendent OTL New mini beast or Decware SET UFO ?
In others words what are the advantages/disavantages of each ?

Michel

Yep, he's officially older.  I'm on his heels as well.  Happy birthday Ed.  I think his b-day was on May 5th and he's still vertical.  Well done for a motorcycle riding hillbilly.  And that's the Truth.  ;D
