The tech at Rel is giving you some bs. The two units should work the same - period. What you need is to feed a low frequency (30-40) hz sine wave signal into the amp and look at the output with an oscilloscope to see the distortion and amplitude (gain) of the amp. Of course, that means access to a scope. Perhaps there is a electronics repair service near you that can do the measurements and provide a picture which you can send to Rel.

BTW if you still have the Strata, you could swap the amp in the Storm. The wattage is lower but I believe the gain is the same and the Strata amp will probably sound fine at normal listening levels.
