Comparing amps

I wanted to see if anyone spends time comparing amps that are in different price range?
I have a Theta intrepid and made an impulse buy yesterday. I bought a B&K 7250 Reference II to try something different plus thinking the theta was on its way out.
I have Sonus Faber Concertos and a Velodyne DD12 which are new to me and haven’t had them long.
Anyways I read in other forums that the B&K is in a lower league and that the Theta or similar brands like Krell, classe etc will always sound better.
Im going to listen to the b&k for now but I feel like I have bias for the Theta.

Don't bother all amps sound the same...
Is not about price. It's about synergy.
I've had many many thousands of pounds of amplifiers in here. You can take a great amp on paper and plug it up to ten different speakers and achieve ten different results
