RE: 250-wpc "smoke and mirrors" amp ?

Who cares how much it weighs? Does it perform? From what I have read over at AC, it does. From what I heard at last years RMAF, AVA gear performs wonderfully. If you stated that the posted output was less, and had proof to back that, I would listen. But using the, "it doesn't weigh enough", arguement seems pretty weak to me. I don't own any AVA gear, so I really have no idea if the amps can drive difficult loads without strain. I have always enjoyed reading your posts Abe. Intelligent, informed posts from you have been informative. But this one, in my opinion, is reaching at best. Weight of an amp has no bearing on perfomance. I understand you questioning the ability of the transfomer to produce the speced wattage, but because one company used a transfomer that weighed more, does it really mean it performed better? Just my thoughts on the post, useless as they may be.
