Can the subject choose the amplifier and speakers?

Yes, the only pre-condition is that the levels match across the audio
band. This is isn't a trick of any kind, it's just to stop someone
introducing say 20 feet of 40AWG wire, or a big series inductor, to
win the bet on a 'cheat'.

Well, of course, you *could* allow them to specify the amp - Naim - and
you the speakers. Electrostatics. And watch the smoke come out of the Naim
with basic cable. ;-)

Aah, you've been around this game for a while, haven't you? :-)
