Your amp will drive speaker--won't clip severely. mess up the music. It affects the sound less than the recordings and room acoustics and in all probability, less than the speakers do.According to the list of criteria you have cribbed from Peter Aczel of The Audio Critic, your amp probably is not particularly accurate nor well-designed. It probably doesn't do have some of the things he wants in an amp (i.e., low output impedance, flat FR into most speaker loads, ability to handle low impedance loads).
Since your amp seems to work well in your system, you no doubt would regard your system as accurate and the ampwell-designed. (It evidently has noise low enough noise and distortion and is reliable, etc. You'll have to make up your own criteria.)
As I and others have pointed out, "well-designed" doesn't mean exactly the same in every context. The same is true of other words. You appear to think otherwise. You seem to think that when people speak of a well-designed amplifier, they should all have the same thing in mind. You seem to think there is a right set of criteria for that and that all others are wrong.
Well-designed----for what?
Accurate----compared to what standard?
