Measurements can help reveal design problems with an amplifier such as spotting 60hz mains noise from a poorly designed PSU circuit. I've seen other examples where measurements can spot channeling tracking issues, poor linearity, and of most importantnce for an amplifier is the basic distortion vs power measurement which can reveal whether an amp lives up to the power specs a manufacturer claims it does.
I would have never assumed that the Asgard 3 would struggle with lower impedance loads as ASR found.
Such information is useful for the audio equipment consumer. It would be helpful and brave of Cayin if they were to send a sample of the C9 to Amir for review.
Oh is that your point, that Cayin should send their gear to be measured by a third party to see if the spec sheet is accurate? Sure, that's reasonable.
If that was actually your point, you kinda undermined it with your LG/WMZ example, which suggested you thought something which measures better sounds better - I'm glad you have entirely retracted that claim.
Good luck deciding on whether to acquire a C9 (really, demo it for yourself).
