While I don't entirely disagree with you (I use Rotel RB-850 power amps, bought s/h from eBay for peanuts), I don't think an article and a mailing list thread taken from the Internet constitutes particularly reliable evidence. My own feeling is that the "sweet spot" where the law of diminishing returns kicks in is particularly low down the price/performance curve for amplifiers and is particularly shallow after that point (i.e. the price increases quickly, the performance doesn't.)
