This may already have been asked but it's hard to search on it. Anyhow, in reading numerous amp (or any component) reviews I'll often see the line "it performs far above its price point" or some such. Then on the flip side (although it doesn't usually show up in a review) there's the "this thing is way over-priced".
What I'd like to see is some kind of graph showing amps with the price on the 'X' axis and on the 'Y' axis something that equates to its quality or sound. This would also rank within a category of amp types. (Apples to apples). Ideally, all the points would fall on a line going up. But it's apparent that doesn't happen. Part of the reason for that can include variability in the taste of the one doing the listening. Nevertheless, one could assign a fair amount of confidence in assessing the gross outliers. Is it the case that doing this is possible, or am I dreaming?
Anyhow, does anyone care to chime in with some help in this regard?
