In the simplest terms, the likes of AN and BAT added euphonic distortion. You've been shilling AN for decades: it's almost a joke. If you are trying to persuade me that distortion is better, then I don't want your help.
I want minimum distortion because because I believe -- and my ears tell my -- the minimum distortion most faithfully reproduces what is on the recorded medium.
I haven't listened to AN or BAT but I have listened to other distorting products over the 50 years of my hi-fi interest. Ultra-low distortion produces sound better. My Purifi amp was a revelation in terms of resolution, transparency, and dynamics. Yeah, my $1500 VTV Purifi sounds better than my $5500 Pass X150.5
Once you depart from low distortion into the world choosing the coloration you like best, and then, sure, the sky is the limit for price.
