Despite its gigantic bore, .860", my Rudy Meinl 5/4 is surprisingly efficient. I'm an old man, so I suppose I have the right to nominate it as a rotary OMT. I think the Marzans were efficient also, however it seems that the piston versions were better in that respect. I have a couple of 6/4 Holtons too. I feel that I get more projection out of the Rudy, although there isn't the "blanket" of sound like from the Holtons. Interesting topic!
