Bit of this, bit of that
Steady state measurements on amps into fixed loads tell you bugger about how they 'sound' and a little about how they measure.
To measure how they sound they have to measuring the output from the front of the speaker they are attached to, you can't measure an amp in isolation, it will perform differently into every different model of speaker.
The general measurements THD, TID,, blah blah tell you nothing about how an amp sounds. They tell you nothing about it's ability to recreate an accurate soundstage, depth and height. To learn that you have to breakdown the output from the front of the speaker capture it with two very fast A-D converters and then analyse that to see how it sounds and correlate those results to how we process sound.
No one does anything like that.
