Maybe so, but how far downwards can the quality go, if they are to
get away with calling it a 'reference class studio monitor'?


'Reference' and 'studio' are often adspeak.


I can appreciate that, but they don't use those terms WRT to their other
amps, which are patently PA jobbies, the spec for the lower-powered one
being 260Wpc into 8 ohms, 0.1% THD, -100dB noise 20-20K, freq resp +/-1dB
20-20K, 3dB points at 5-50K. I think the message between the lines is that
the new one is better than the PA ones.


Like 'pro'. A monitor is a
speaker, not an amp, in this context.


My error - the official spielspeak is "Professional 500-Watt Reference-Class
Studio Power Amplifier".
