What is the validation you are talking about? You are quite vague about that.

Someone else telling you what you hear. :)

When people claim they can hear differences between accurate electronics, such as two accurate amplifiers operated within their design limits, I want to see if there is a reason to believe them.

There's a simple answer. Exposure to better. At least for those who are familiar to the sound of live unamplified music.

I would still prefer to see a review with a good set of performance measurements for speakers such as Soundstage does at the NRC, or Stereophile does, or even Audioholics or Sound & Vision, whose speaker measurements are much less complete in significant respects.

Such is quite useful for very basic frequency linearity purposes. Coincidentally, I performed a frequency analysis of my HT in the bottom octaves, and made some adjustments to the processor configuration and level controls of my subs to produce the most linear response in the bottom three octaves.

These curves shows that with many speakers amplifiers which have high output impedances (i.e., many tube amps) are likely to sound different than amplifiers with low output impedances.

The qualitative results are far different from basic impedance curve results. Far different. :)
