RE: If Nearly All Amplifiers Are Conceptually Wrong

First of all, the market is not that large; and secondly, you would need to convince the majority of customers that your design is better than all the other designs. It would also have to be affordable.

The difficulty would be in convincing everyone that other amplifiers don't really sound good. It has been my experience that of all components except possibly CD players, power amplifier exhibit the least differences in sound quality compared to preamps, phono cartridges, turntables, and speakers.

Therefore, it's probably not worth going into business, but it might be worth buying or building your own idea of a correctly designed amplifier for your own system. As far as I'm concerned, I'm perfectly happy with my Parasound Halo A21 power amplifier driving my Thiel CS3.7 speakers. In fact, I'm overjoyed with the sound quality of my system and I can't even imagine how it could be improved. I just hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life. ;-)
