I think the OP's question is "too legit to quit", for sure. Now whether he's asking it sincerely or just trolling...well, maybe only his "hairdresser knows for sure"! (Wow, did I just date myself with that one!) The article referenced is an oldie but it too, is legit. It goes right along with the old STEREO REVIEW article from many moons ago comparing an inexpensive Pioneer stereo receiver to an expensive separate amplifier, conclusion being most folks could not hear a consistent difference. Whichever side of the great divide you may recide, it is food for thought, now as then.
what's the point?

According to this, all amps that are played below clipping sound the same (indiscernible). So what benefit does it serve to purchase an expensive amplifier that may use more expensive capacitors or other parts?
Oh, and what pricepoint does the law of diminishing returns kick in for a class a/b amp/integrated rated at say 150 watts per Channel @ 8 ohms capable of increasing power at 4 ohms and still being stable? Thanks.
