The difference between amps is a hot topic but for me it is pretty big, certainly large enough to be picked up easily is a double blind test. This does depend on the music you listen to though. Ever wonder why small chamber music is so often used to show audio gear? Because it doesn't test the system at all. Same thing applies here, put on some large scale classical music or metal and you can instantly hear the difference a CCS for the output stage makes.
Good points, but the small chamber music can also be used to compare and contrast. If this is music that you will likely spend a lot of time listening to then things like texture, detail, instrument separation and spacial representation are important and can be judged easily with a well known piece of chamber music.
