@johnnotkathi,

Thank you for saving me from having to reply.

For those who might eschew the objective, and might prefer the subjective;

i suggest comparing the output with one’s ear in direct proximity of a loudspeakers drivers with source turned off: with most of the better new Class D amps compared to traditional  Class A or AB amps. I think most will typically find these  Class D amps to be quieter. I’m not suggesting the SINAD is the be all/ end all, but it is a measure of noise (and distortion) after all.

@audiofilio123,  Respectfully; if you subtract all the marketing fluff, those specs aren’t all that special.

@unsound, I am not guided by specs since I am not educated enough to understand all of the parameters, but perhaps others can. Like perhaps most of us, my “tools” are my ears and the Kinki Studio (marketing) or not do sound amazing, very transparent and powerful. 

But more importantly in this discussion is the Thiels being such a wonderful reveling speaker that demands only the best to shown his magic.
