Why is this a question. What makes it a lesser amp? All the reviews have been very good and while I don't find reviews to be the way I judge devices, consitency usually indicates a good product.

Won’t call it mid if to me that’s Yamaha and NAD.

It is a very capable amplifier and I have had the pleasure to audition. Dead silent just a bit to sterile for me. The guys at ASR love it.

From what I read, I think this is accurate. 

Surprised ASR likes it.  I guess even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while.

 

For the ASR crowd it measures very, very well. Better than any of the Class D stuff.
