wasn't the failure I surmised but a failure it most certainly was, a particularly egregious one I might add since it lead to damage of a $16,000 (for the pair... did I get that correct?) amplifier. Pretty sad showing... IMO of course.

I'm really not sure where you're going with this, but I suggest that you read the response. It's pretty simple. Ayre had the wrong fuse in place, which blew (at 775 watts continuous into 2 ohms, a truly ridiculous real-life scenario) and took out a driver transistor when it did so. This is a case of human error, freely admitted in the publication, and NOT a failure of the protection circuitry as you wrongly surmised. Sad showing? Well, we all make mistakes, don't we?

If you can't distinguish between a simple human error which caused a 'failure' under conditions not to be reached under anything but extreme test circumstances and a fundamental design flaw (which you have implied), well, I'm certainly not going to try to convince you of anything. It is wise, however, to gain all the information available before criticising. Try it next time. Bye.
As I have already said the problem "... wasn't the failure I surmised but a failure it most certainly was" this indicates to me you either have a problem comprehending or you're willfully playing dense. Either way I’m afraid I can't claim to be terribly interested so … Bye.
