Well, 2 reasons. I don't know if the offer still stands, but he offers $10,000 to anyone who can pass his test.
If you win you can buy an amp with that money :).
Second reason, to add to the body of knowledge that exists in the public domain. People use references to his information to suggest that amp A vs amp B - there is no difference as long as they fit certain basic criteria. And he does acknowledge certain features, like if it makes a big thud on starting that is less desireable than otherwise.
If he is right, great, lets spread that knowledge. If he is wrong, well, then lets figure that out and put the issue to bed!
Also - here is a long thread (you can waste maybe a whole 2 hours on this! :) ) - lets no rehash what has already been discussed. There are lots of these.

So - bottom line - can we differentiate an X350.5 vs a $20 amp from radio shack using Magnepan 20.1s? (or whatever is cheapest 4 ohm amp).
