Told as a joking caricature, I would agree with that.My Pass X250 amp could also be compared in that way.
However I think that would do both of them an injustice. It is true the Hovland does not color the signal in any way. However, while it just reveals what's there, it reveals more of what's there than having nothing there does, in my experience.
If I was going to fault it I'd say it's bass is very accurate but it does not have a well defined bottom end. That was resolved when I auditioned Dukes Swarm sub system, as it's addition left nothing wanted anymore, and I got it all without coloration. (and I used to like my share of coloration in my youth)
The Hovland does require careful matching, but it will reward it and it shouldn't be dismissed casually I think.
It's all about the music...
