All I know is I had an integrated amplifier with Purifi modules that sound very well mediocre. Had a GaN amplifier that was just more of the same mediocre. Not going to slam the brands as they were not my cup of tea that's all.
My Rogue Pharaoh II is sounding really good! Enjoying it immensely and gets better every day.
"how can you trash this amp? I have one and it sounds great to me!"
It is impossible to debate amplifiers or any other audio component on a subjective basis as opinions about how they sound are just that- opinions- which can never be wrong or right. If you "like" the sound, good for you. It doesn't mean everyone or anyone else will like it, nor should that matter to you.
The only rational and real debate that can take place is on the objective facts: performance, design, execution, etc.
Intelligent people don't debate subjective opinions.
