High power integrated amps??
All things considered, I would strongly advise you go for this $1200 option. OR ask Tyler what the quid pro quo is & purchase your own separate amp with electronic xover facility to drive 4x15".Don;t worry too much about the "pro". And your ro...

Manger HF dispersion, distortion specs
optimal results occur with fast, wide bandwidth solid state amplifiersGood to know. The poster, however, is asking for measurements. As an importer, do you have some such to share?? 
do blind tests have any practical significance
a reviewer should be an accurate reporter of what he/she hears--no more no lessQuite reasonable. Which of course begs the question, "how well is the system containing the product under review, set up?"... 
Seas Millennium Break-in time

How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
If the music was properly recorded (than) then it is going to sound good when it is reproduced despite your equipmentIF the music was well recorded. But usually one buys the music and the musicians playing the music -- not recordings.
