Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.

An audiophile buys a pair of speakers for $50K or $100K then asks what amps make them sound best. That’s about as smart as marrying a girl without knowing her personality. What are the specs that will insure your expensive new speakers and amps will work optimality with each other? There’s got to be an app for that, well no there isn’t because there are too many variables and companies don’t present their specs in a standard ways. Why is it that speaker and amplifier manufactures don’t recommend specific amps for their speakers? Beyond power, impedance, and making your own crossovers how do you choose amplifiers to get all the potential out of your speakers?

Many of us understand @donavabdear 

I only know of one piece of hi-fi equipment that actually sounds like real life and that is my Steinway

I could't agree more and can completely relate. When I observe my young man (apple of my eye) play in the band it's intoxicating, but when I'll ask for a acoustic drum freestyle solo in the garage is when it becomes much more intimate.

I’m not much into guessing/hoping (except jellybeans in a jar).

Are you certain? Jelly Belly “BeanBoozled” mystery flavors.
