My concern (such as it is) is simply this: I maintain
different modern SS amplifiers can sound different.

Of course they can. One popular means is to play them so that they result in
different SPLs. Another popular means is to give people a quick talk about
how superior one or inferior the other is, and then demonstrate them as
such.

They are particularly affected by load (speakers) in my extraordinarily
humble opinion.

One who claims to be more humble than others, is obviously not truely humble
at all.

Good amplifiers are designed to be as resistant as is reasonably possible to
being affected by their loads. This goal is frequently met.

Others (on this NG, not you explicitly so far as I can tell) maintain
this is highly unlikely. For example, I'm pretty sure I
could hear the difference between a Cambridge audio power amp, a semi-pro
power
amp, and a Quad 405 power amp.

Why would this even be of interest? I thought that audio is related to the
love of music, not the peculiarities of amplifiers.
