@ozzy62 it's not like I will change anybody's approach to using these terms: I am not losing any sleep over it. But it's pretty obvious and reasonable to expect from sensible people that they understand the basics about quantifying these numbers (while knowing the audience).
There are words that describe that it's the lower end of audiophile amplifiers other than inexpensive. "Inexpensive" is just meaningless and silly to me. The writer can do better.
But again, this is not a court, inexpensive, bargain, affordable, whatever... I am excited to read about audio and the price will suffice. What matters more if it's a good value for the price.
