I have no problem with someone saying that an amp sounds clean and transparent to them (I did so with all of my amplifier reviews), because any decently designed amp will sound just that way, at least below the clipping level and with normal-type speaker loads.
For example, you might negotiate specific clipping levels on expenditures.
With most speakers, played at volume levels below clipping levels, amps are indeed "amps," and are anything but the romanticized items that some enthusiasts wax poetic about.
