I have a couple of VanAlstine amps.

They are well reviewed outside of Stereophile.

The issue may be one of specs, which AVA seems to find fluid. Idle speculation, but based on the weight of the amps they may not show exemplary bench test results Into lower impedance loads. I'm not particularly interested in Stereophile's test regimen anyway.

Long ago, they did burst testing for transient output power, but that went away. Seems that that would correlate better with real music signals than steady-state testing.
