Given that the amplifiers' ability to drive difficult load is removed - then

Why? Where did you *ever* see a 'high end' maker claim that the
'superior' sound of his amp had anything to do with sheer power?

Power into low impedance and low to no global feedback is what I hear from
most amplifier advertisements. Oh, that and a DC to daylight flatness with
low distortion.

My Krell will drive a 1-ohm load continuously, but that has nothing to
do with how it *sounds* on normal speakers.

The point is that how it can source a 1 ohm current load means you aren't
restricted to 'normal' speakers (whatever those are) - and if there is a ton
of current required - you have it without the amplifier going into some sort
of foldback.
