And actually it is the other way around, at least for impedance match: OTLs sound better with high impedance cans
Interesting, Skeptic.
I've heard just an opposite when it comes to tube OTL amps vs OT coupled amp. I was told that transformer coupled is exactly what makes amps like WA6 sound more solid state vs pure tube powered design of output transformerless design.
You seldom see SS amps with output transformers because output transformers cost more money than high current SS transistors and a high current power supply. It has very little to do with output impedance - you can get very low output impedances using either method.

Hey avsbuddy, I heard the same thing you did.
now i don't know what to believe!
