IMO, yes. Over the years, I've learned the "golden ears" and so called audiophiles are as creative as they are clueless. And none have ever been able to back up any of their claims with a double blind test.

I choose amplifiers based on the quality of the materials used to build them. I think the only time you should concern yourself with amplifier "sound" is if you're saturating the crap out of the output devices, a guitar amp would be an example. If you don't overload the amplifier then choose whatever is built well and provides necessary power.

In home audio, the answer is yes. I've used and tested also. Since they don't use "max" power nor false numbers, they all seem to put out as stated.
The car audio market needs to standardize, so that 100w = 100w regardless of brand/manufacturer.

An amp is an amp?? Absolutely not.
Power is power?? Yes.

So true. Not just with amplifiers, either.

I read it, top to bottom.

The answer to the title of the article is an emphatic Hell No!

Watts (real, measured ones) sound the same, not amps.
