You seem to be confusing the facts with your likes and opinions. Obviously the copper material and venturi design are, in and of themselves, fine. The designer needed more of both, however, for proper dissipation. The test in question isn't Atkinson's--it's a standard of which every competent designer is aware, your assurances notwithstanding.
It's heartening to hear that the amp works with your speaker load. Someone with less sensitive speakers may not have such good fortune.
