There are some people who subscribe to the point of view that all
'competently designed' amplifiers are audibly inseperable. They do not
state this as an opinion, but rather assert it as fact.

I have a couple of questions for such individuals..

1) The implication is that there is a cut-off point in specification
and any amplifier meeting or exceeding said specification is deemed
sonically indistinguishable, as any sonic irregularities between them
would be below the threshold of human hearing. Please nominate a
couple of cheap amplifers which meet this criteria, when presented
with a suitable load.

2) Is there any doubt in the minds of such people that the nominated
amplifers will sound audibly different under controlled, double blind
listening conditions, to the most highly specified amplifiers
currently available - Halcro monoblocks?

I'm one such individual. I've never been able to tell the difference
between 2 amplifiers, unless the load causes a variance in frequency
response.
