You do make valid observations . Still , what Civilian understands Watts , or 8 ohms Impedance for that matter .
It would be nice to have verified the Key elements behind a DACs sonic performance , i.e. just what is a MSB DAC doing in delivering it's final result ? and why does it cost $50k ?
Over-all , I know of few people that are trying to figure all this out by measuring with super expensive instrumentation .
I was inside the GM Technical Center Anechoic Chamber a while back noticing their expensive B & K Sweep Measuring Equipment , their Engineering Staff explain that it's hardly necessary for Noise-Vibration-Harshness judgments , it only helps them verify .
Still you might try doing Car type testing like How Loud can the thing play before the Voice Coils Melt down to a smelly mess , or how much dynamic range can the Amp deliver into a 4 ohm loading ! Some sort of big , splashy test regimen to get people talking . Your Owners would love it too , maybe promote you a little bit , somehow compare your testing to Cars and you have a winner that our consumer can understand and put value to . Probably get more Advert Revenue for the likes of Cerwin Vega .
Anyway , love your Tyll and hope you don't start having him do Car Audio Reviews

ps . just trying to be practical here and Laura Lavechiio was our advertising girl , back in the 1980s , Audio Mag. My wife still has a large Paperclip thing on her desk , to stick letters into , says Audio Magazene on it . Funny how things are like this . We were B&K Imports back then .
