The question was raised about whether you could tell the price of an amp
by listening to it. The OP thought not. I would argue it depends on
the load.
I have a pair of Apogee Divas that fried an inexpensive, but supposedly
very powerful amp. Meanwhile, my pair of old Classe power amps has been
driving them fine for 19 years.
The Divas go to very low impedance at some point in their frequency
range. If your amp can't produce the necessary current it isn't going
to sound too good, if it keeps working at all!
If by more expensive you mean able to handle the power load then yes,
you can determine the more expensive amp. If you mean something else,
then I don't know.
