That's interesting. So you mean that a budget amplifier like NAD C

darTZeel CTH-8550 at moderate listening levels driving normal speakers?

Put a cloth over them, match their output levels exactly, and try to
tell which is which. Good luck.

Maybe I will consider downgrading my Creek Destiny to a NAD then.

You could, I suppose, but why bother? There's nothing wrong with
having a little overkill in the system.

Unless, that is, you want to take advantage of NAD's sterling
reputation for quality control. ;-)
