If all amps shared the same levels of distortion and x-over distortion,
and
other factors, you'de be right about the above, but that is not the case.


If the distortion is below the level of audibility then it can't change the
sound of the amp, can it?


It shows that people do hear a difference in amps even under normal use.
That's my point.


If "under use" means "driving your amp into clipping on a constant basis"
then yes, you will hear a difference.
