The point of this thread is that audiophiles buy what they want to buy in terms of amplifiers and not the most cost effective solution in terms of desired sound. If the technical performance of a luxury amplifier is the same as a mass produced one then all the matters is the marketing and the distinguishing features of the design that hook into that marketing.
In order to make money, which is why audiophile companies exist, Bob Carver would seem to have simply produced something that people wanted to buy. Selling products at a profit is what is important and not technical performance. Actual technical performance is only one factor in why people buy products.
