Forget that thread they are what Marv would call 'borked measurements' but in this ase most likely due to ignorance and intended to serve as proof that Topping and ASR are 'bad' and don't understand measurements where ironically he is the one not understanding what he measures but thought it might make good material for 'propaganda'.
I stand for what you are saying.
I went through that rabbit hole and man...
I only see hatred, childish claims, and conspiracy theories.
They are angry that their expensive US/European-made equipment is showing bad results and missing the point.
If they like how their equipment sounds, fine, just stick with you like, that's all.
I prefer to have a clear amplifier and adjust to my preferences through EQ.
If you prefer to play with synergy and experiment with equipment to find the perfect fit, it's ok too.
