Remember that some of us had to design amps in the era of some really
'demanding' speaker loadings like the old maggies. The problem became that
some speakers needed very high outputs into nastly loadings whilst others
were vulnerable. Some people using some speakers will want an amp that
would destroy another speaker. In the end, you have to choose what is
appropriate. This is why detailed info for users is important.

It isn't just the basic spec, but things like the power supply,
designed clearly to permit full power sine wave drive, ignoring the
peaky nature of music (then at any rate - maybe they anticipated the
highly-compressed pop of today).
