High-end amplifier clarification?


At what point do you consider an amplifier high-end? And, why? What is a good example of a non-high end amp that just misses being high-end? Also, what is an example of an amplifier that just makes it into your high-end rankings?

Any amp that sounds great. It includes a $ 250.00 Adcom Carver, Luxman, Tandberg or $ 10,000.00 VTL's, ARC CJ's.

High end doe not have to mean high priced.
