...and the only thing you brought out was the price of the amplifier.
There is a threshold of investment for many kinds of objects that vary widely by performance below which there can be no comparison. How about that $12,000 car that outperforms a McLaren P1?
Right? Are you serious?
I made remarks about a particular subset of measured results
Not really. You pointed to a series of posts by Arny without quoting which "remark". If you mean this:
"At this point, a very high percentage of all properly designed SS power amps including PA amps, and mainstream AVRs can be reasonably expected to sound the same if you turn of all of their DSP functions."
We'll continue to disagree. Sorry if you are likewise unable to hear such differences.

"Sorry if you are likewise unable to hear such differences."
I appreciate the sentiment. However, I am not at all sorry I can't "hear" differences between accurate amplifiers driven driven within their design limits. This saves me endless worries which would interfere with my enjoyment of recorded music and drama.

Neither could my mother. She was quite content listening to her clock radio.

Why would you have *worries* about hearing more of what's in your recordings? I consider it the joy of hearing a more realistic perspective. :)
When you get around to actually proving that you or anyone else can ear the differences between accurate modern amplifiers driven within their design limits get back to me.

or you don't.
Your condition does make component selection far easier - everything works the same!
"or you don't."
That is actually quite ambiguous. Perception is affected by many things, and it is quite possible to perceive differences when in fact they are not detected. To "hear" can mean to perceive, but to "hear" can also mean to detect. If anyone is actually interested in determining detection thresholds, that is where controlled blind tests come in.
"Your condition does make component selection far easier - everything works the same!"
That is hardly correct and it is really a rather silly thing to say.

Only to those you don't get it. :)
I do get it. You audition electronics, form preferences, and don't care whether your preferences actually correspond to audible differences. That's fine with me.
