There are gifted people able to understand quite well math and physics without being engineers
The very good books are out there for the people willing to read them and able to understand them
Of course even "experimentalists" must know the basics of audio circuitry design
For instance i made a mod and fused an amp ... because i am ignorant
The bad sound of some commercial amps i think comes from the huge compromise done to keep costs low.
Take a same decent design and use better layout and parts and you get high-end sound. I am sure of that.

They have to understand the engineering and math to design the product. That means they're functioning as true engineers when they design. If they don't know enough to function as an engineer the products they design will be awful.
As you say, well-informed hobbyists might do just fine when it come to assembly and refinement.
Circuit design is another matter entirely.
You mean that the principles of audio circuits design are not found in books ?
Anyone can buy a good handbook of electronics and try.
The world is full of self-educated designers.
The basics are all in the books/manuals for the people able to understand them.

So you have something against engineers but not against engineering?
Fascinating position...
Hi again
" So you have something against engineers but not against engineering? "
no of course. What i mean is that engineering laws/rules are in the books for anyone able to understand them.
So it could be that an amateur with a certain level of education studies an handbook and then he is able to design.
To become a very good designer requires a mix of predisposition, passion and motivation.
We had some bad teachers at school. A friend of mine used to come to one or two lessons and then to decide to study alone on the book.
And he got top marks.
I think he could have studied without never come to school.
He is a very good engineer.

Would you let a amature experimenter perform brain surgery on your child..I know of a amature amp designer that electrocuted himself designing a amp,,
All I'm saying is that well intentioned hobbyists don't necessarily know enough to create the circuit designs found in those books you mention. These "self-educated designers" are (for the most part) better at refining than they are at creating.
