Any Moonriver 404 users out there?

thanks @arafiq it sure isn't cheap! Did you match it with Harbeth speakers?

@gano yes you can

Yes I matched it with Harbeth 30.1 and SHL5+

@gano I had it for 2 years in my small space before getting my own place. I listen at a reasonably farfield location, so they didn't have the voltage swing necessary to keep cranking the SPL needed to get reference level volume at my seating distance and I also got new mains for my system last year as my old speakers were very old and one had a dented tweeter. T

hat was a mistake by me, and I won't make that mistake again prioritizing anything other than speaker/room synergy made me chase my tail.

Basically saying that you can do better for $2300 imo and if you say you have average sensitivity rated speakers I'd assume 85dB@2.83V/1m sensitivity.

That is fine but will mean more headroom needed the farther you sit and this one doesn't have the headroom unless your speaker is a 2-ohm minimum impedance load speaker, then you can get transient power levels of nearly 200W @ 2 Ohm 

well, this is disappointing. I really wonder how they are able to sell a mediocre amp for so much money. For ~$2300 do you have any suggestion @kofibaffour ? 

One specific comparison: how would it match up with the Hegel H190?
