Be careful, if you start to throw Star Wars, into the mix, we are
entering into a very serious topic now, for real :)

Silly me! I forgot that measurements, at least in the world of high end
audio, are a double edged sword:
Super expensive equipment "sounds" great but measures poorly -
measurements prove not

No, it could well happen - only to "prove" that measurements don't tell

Well if you are a sound engineer professionally you got to have

Next take a set measurements with the same power amp using:

What keeps amazing me is the boundless optimism of audiophiles.
Rather incredible claim A shown to be false or fake.
