>>I would think that the ultimate acoustic effects of any device are more important to the behavior of the device in the
listener's system.<<This may be valid for turntables and tube preamps which are microphonic in some cases but certainly not for solid state amplifiers. Make the following experiment: Knock at a solid state
amplifier and measure the output of the amplifier or loudspeaker -
you won't measure anything (at least if the mechanical construction
of the amplifier is decent) so why should someone measure an amplifier
when it is exposed to sone waves generated by a loudspeaker which
sure are hundred times weaker than if you knock at the amplifier ?
