I have both the Melody AN845 and the LM 219IA. I bought the AN845 about a year ago, and the LM219 has now been used for about 2 months. The difference? The sound of the AN845 is in my opinion more energetic, forward and "ballsy". The bass is very good. The LM219 is more delicate, detailed and (for me) more musically engageing. Bass could be better, but enough for me. Both drive my Harbeth SHL5 speakers with ease. The AN845 seems subjectively the more efficient of the two.
The LM219IA is my favourite - it really is a gentle giant, very musically involving. But I also wholeheartedly recommend the Melody AN845. Both are amazing amps.
