short answer?
unless you are a self proclaimed god, all other things considered to be exactly equal - meaning RMS power, distortion, frequency response, imput impedance, ect ect ect ect

then no. some people claim they can hear differences from one amp to another, but id wager a bet that if we did a blind test with 5 different amps of very similar power with measurements taken to keep power as close as possible, they would not be able to tell me what amp is what.

Operating frequency. The lower, the better.

Well I don't put my opinion in, unless I have had experience with the subject personally.

Short answer, yes, different amps sound different. Not always noticeably different, but sometimes it can be very noticeable.

You must be one of those crazy audio guys.

IMO, there will be a difference, but you may not even notice it. you actually have to pay attention carefully, get used to how it sounds with one amp and then swap the other and see if you can notice a difference. sometimes it might be you mind thinking you notice a difference. Quality of those two amps probably the same, but compare them to something like a DLS amp, you'll instantly notice a difference.

The answer to this question can not be answered on opinion. It is either a fact or not.

well yes, not all our ears are the same, some have lost the audiability to detect a difference. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
