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?

The high end amplifier is the one that blends into your system to the point that it vanishes, calling no attention to itself.
To me high end is simply that it is built to a higher standard , signifcantly better than mass market equipment and designed to sound much better and last much longer,
