In my quest to find good reference material I came across a paper written by a guy named, Daniel Cheever, titled:
"A NEW METHODOLOGY FOR AUDIO FREQUENCY POWER AMPLIFIER TESTING BASED ON PSYCHOACOUSTIC DATA THAT BETTER CORRELATES WITH SOUND QUALITY"
The text can be as dry as the title, but it is more than worth reading. He has access to some test equipment that most of us can only dream about, but more importantly, seems to know what to look for.
The punchline...It seems that zero feedback SE actually TESTS better than conventional designs in some very key, but overlooked areas.
The paper is available here in pdf format:

If your looking to expand your understanding as to why something sounds good/bad ,do yourself a favor and read it.
