Depends on how you define that word. For someone it might mean a ruler flat FR with 2KW/ch at 2 cents/watt. For someone else it might mean something worth talking about at cocktail dinner parties. I think Hyundai is high performance. For the next person a Rolls Royce might mean high performance. They are both in different leagues as far as the price goes.
High end snobbery exists in everything. Boats, cars, musical instruments, furniture, cigars, speakers, amps, etc. Any one form is no better than the other, IMHO.
In case of these amps even JA who is affiliated to Stereophool said they are poor by any measurement standards and that it was a surprise the reviewer found them to sound good.
