bjh puts up a strawman.JA stated that the test conditions are beyond realistic levels, so who cares that an internal fuse blew? Not me.
My "bottom-of-the-line" Ayre components have performed just fine so far, thank you. And if I do need service, many people on this forum (and others) have said that Ayre has some of the best customer service in the business.

Not me either. I am sure that Ayre would go out of their way to make it right.The greater concern is that Charles Hansen admitted that the Wrong component was installed at the factory. That just leads to the question about how many other wrong components are installed.
In general JA is finding a high percentage of very expensive components with various assembly defects. This should concern us all because most of us do not have the ability to test to make sure the componenet is delivering all it should.
why perform a test to measure something "...beyond realistic levels", what possible purpose would there be in that?Then again there are some hi-end speaker systems that apparently present a difficult load, so who knows, perhaps the measurement might have some merit when considering suitable amplifier for such systems?

Considering it the equivalent of subjecting a car to lateral G on a
skid pan way in excess of what the car will experience in 99.999% of
normal use. The object is to find out where the device's limits lie.

that most amplifiers, including moderately priced and even tube designs, routinely survive such tests. After all the prospect of you having to frequently apologize to manufacturers for breaking their amplifiers performing your tests would be, IMHO, a little embarrassing.BTW, why didn't you test the other monoblock to get the 2 ohm clipping point?
No point in abusing things just to smell the magic smoke.

Wouldn't take much, it would seem.
