Sure a educated ear is best but when judging amplifier performance one needs a few capable loudspeakers. Since amplifiers interact with loudspeakers load. You yourself posted this (Altec (GPA) 604's in Karlson K-15's, stock horrible XO's.) So I do wonder how you can build a neutral to source amplifier with such limitations and little if no variability in load. I do enjoy Altecs and Karlson but with a ham strung network and the coloration of the resonating k slot baffles your going to have a massive collation to sound character, it can be pleasant but isn't designing with coloration what you complaining others do? So maybe you can clarify since you've got me confused at the contradiction.
