My Transcendent amps are a pair of original Super Compact 150 monoblocks, built by Bruce before he started the DIY site. They worked flawlessly for years and were easily biased. The EL-509 power tubes for these are hard to come by these days, but I still have a reserve supply in case I decide to pull these little jewels out of storage. I'm sure that OTL's are fantastic, but I'm not sure they provide sufficient oomph for good sized planar speakers. It probably takes lots of $$$ power tubes for an OTL design with sufficient current for a thirsty pair of Maggies.
The Sanders Magtech amp is great, 900 wpc of clean power with little, if any sound signature of it's own. Plenty of headroom for a pair of Maggie 3.7(i).
Cheers,
