Stress on Solid State Amps


I've seen several amps listed for sale as 'never been stressed'. If an amp has been driven hard, but not to clipping, does that make it less dependable than one that has never been pushed? Does that affect the future performance or the life span of the amp?

IMHO its just "owned by a LOL" stuff; and probably just BS. I've been seeing a lot of that lately in the ads. Nothing is used more than 200 hours and all gently - oh yeh! Caveat emptor as always.
