After a day of listening to them, they're sonically indistinguishable from my Benchmark AHB2s, which really should come as no surprise...

I hear you. If you look at the graph, the peak of the 15 kHz THD+N is at -78dB, which is 0.0125%. Speaker transducer distortion is...

Have you found any commercial recording using more than 16 bits of dynamic range?

This is just the usual sighted blather. I said “hear” not “see”.

Again, "matching" might mean pretty much anything - like adding or changing one resistor or even just a suitable cable or connector.

There is no such thing as "tighter tolerances" in electronics manufacturing. I regularly run modules in bridged mode without sorting...

Class D amplifiers are analogue. The D does not stand for Digital. Class D amplifiers work through Pulse Width Modulation. Just check...

Just to re-enforce your statements: Not only a new term, a term for a non existent phenomena. You can of course (and always do) get...

Which is also rare.
