I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.

@invalid I think what most designers mean when they say accuracy is that the wave form doesn’t change from input to output.

That’s a valid point and therein lies the problem. You can take several examples of audio components that are capable of performing this unaltered waveform function. Yet when listened to, it’s clearly recognized that each of them have their own sonic signature or fingerprints. So which one of them is accurate in reproducing music recordings? @sns comments are on the mark in regard to the concept of audio accuracy.

Evaluation of the quality of a design is important....

But there is many design quatitative product, and yet a great varieties of acoustic implementation...

Recreating with the original acoustic digitalized or analog information conveyed by the gear system a relatively truthful representation or translation  of this information in a room acoustic is the real problem...

Buying relatively good gear nowadays is easier than in the past...

I believe that this move would please you very much.  Go for it. If I were to make a change

I want to listen first, not just make a change.

I am pretty much done with belief.
(I am not an amp designer, and AFAIK neither are you.)

( Primarily to reduce box count but retain superb sound quality) it'd be either Aries Cerat Genus or the Viva Solista. Both are what I believe to be excellent SET integrated amplifiers. 

I would like to see some meaningful measurements on those amps, rather than go solely by belief.

Go solely by belief? What are you talking about?

I have bee very clear with my comments on this thread that I value the listening experience far more than a reliance on test acquired measurements. You seem to have taken a counter position (As you questioned some of my  'supportive stance of listening' replies in this thread). Frankly I’m not sure what exactly is the point you’re trying to make. Your last post is strange. Anyway as I’ve previously stated, just do what works best for you.

This is impossible with a proper measurement set.

If they measure so close, I personally would not trust user listening tests unless they don't know what they are listening to. The potential to fool ourselves is too high.
