Nominally competent is easy. +/- 0.1 dB 100 to 10,000 Hz with less
than 1% clipping and no measurable odd stuff like a shut-down with
protection into the speaker in question. That's never been a secret.


Is it really that easy? It's hard to believe that if I find a $149 Kenwood
receiver that meets those criteria, use a high level input so it functions
as a power amplifier, it should sound the same as a power amplifier from an
established and respected maker, like Parasound or B&K.
And if it doesn't the same?
