RE: "But that a listening session is also part of the test suite"

"Now can you build a state of the art DC coupled SS amp just from part data sheets. No schematic to follow, just data sheets"

Precisely where you fall short. This approach being a modified version of Monday morning armchair quarterback. Empirical approaches remain superior to direct coupled circuits with a constant eye toward lower distortion being your lightning rod. The link below will show you am well aware of some gentlemen whom ARE aware of the SS shortcomings. Interesting to me that some of that best sounding SS were just crude renditions of time worn tube topologies sans direct coupling. Still, you and others refuse to accept we STILL do not know what to measure. I remain amused by those whom tout SS and all it's superior manifestation and ignore that compression drivers {in speakers}remain TODAY with distortion levels 10 times lower than cone and dome speakers. Logical progression... many whom like horn speakers also have an affinity for panel speakers... again that superior distortion characteristic of panel and horn speakers make them kindred.

If you are so adamant about cutting edge superior sound, am sure you use either panel or horn speakers recognizing their superior distortion characteristics across the board {which ARE incontrovertible}.

Or perhaps you just listen differently.
