I'll have to read the technical description carefully, and rearrange it into paragraphs, to get the hang of what they are saying. I wonder what the Doc would say about parallel output drive circuits and output transistors?

If it has a good sound who cares ?

Probably, but manufacturers normally have a price point in mind, so that usually dictates what can be done.

Look at NVA and the difference between the cheapest and most expensive amps.

The power supply is the only difference.
