golfnutz,
In my post, I was not defensive about my Mytek Brooklyn amp. I thanked you for quoting Stereophile measurements whose power capabilities are at odds with the excellent sound quality described in the review and confirmed by my listening. My "SO WHAT" comment was intended to refute George who holds up the Levinson ML2 as the paragon of excellence for technical specs. The truth is that it sounds like muddy molasses at any SPL despite its power specs. But George has never heard it, doesn't care to listen, and merely goes on and on about irrelevant technical subjects.
As to your point about the usefulness of independent measurements, I agree.
