golf, NP.
Can’t say for sure but what I was able to find about the Mivera amps referenced the Icepower site for specs, so likely its just that Icepower module in a nice box, which perhaps is just not up to the task of driving demanding "audiophile" speakers to their max all alone.
Most applications are surely not as demanding.
Ref1000m amps listed for $6k a pair originally. I bought mine used for half that price. Not cheap, but that was my best shot at driving my demanding home speakers to their max which worked out well. The input section on ref1000m also allows for good pairing with my higher output tube pre-amp. The input impedance of the stock Icepower module used was only 10Kohm, not good for use with tube pre-amp but fine if SS pre.
Devil in the details.....
