Accuphase E-480 or Hegel H10+P10

Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I'm very excited.

I have the chance to buy either the Accuphase E-480 or the combination of Hegel H10+P10 (the Hegel combination being a bit less expensive) and was wondering if anyone had some thoughts about these. Because of the current situation listening to them will be very difficult, that's why I chose to ask here.

My speakers are Vienna Accoustics Beethoven Concert Grand so my thinking is that the Hegel combination would have too much power for them but I am curious to see if you have different opinions on this.
I listen to all kinds of music but mostly classical.

Thank you very much for any and all inputs.
Cheers
Ben

Accuphase is near top level electronics, I would definitely go for it.
I heard your speakers but not with Accuphase, with McIntosh.

Thank you for your opinions, I am leaning to the Accuphase. It comes with two speaker terminals and also has a main in, both of which would be very nice to have.

There's no such thing as too much power. You need to think about transient response. Will you share your thoughts once you make the choice?

What would you guys suggest between a Accuphase E-600 (Class A) and the E-480 (Class AB) for the same price? I have never had a Class A amp, so I don't know what they sound like. I would appreciate any and all opinions.
