A bit late to the party, but I ran across this article some time ago about the Bob Carver challenge from Stereophile:

https://www.stereophile.com/content/carver-challenge

Pretty interesting how he went about matching the amps.

Pertaining to the article, one must realize that electrolytic capacitors, by
themselves will mask inner detail, which negatively affects perceived
sonic differences.

The listening testing method is also quite suspect since virtually no
confound variables are addressed, except sight, or spl level.
The tests are skewed toward no sonic difference virtually every single time.
