The Riviera Philosophy.
Riviera’s products are the result of meticulous and professional research, from the study of the circuits to the design and realisation. All Riviera products embody the art and craft of Made in Italy production, guaranteeing absolute excellence in terms of quality, finish and value.
Riviera’s products are the result of fanatical attention to detail, from the conception and technical design to the aesthetics and construction of each device. Riviera products are made using high-quality materials chosen for their suitability for each component to guarantee the highest quality. Riviera products are subject to rigorous control at every stage of production, ensuring meticulous and accurate workmanship.
Riviera projects have been developed to address the discrepancy between traditional measurements and the listening results of audio amplifiers, a problem that has persisted for over thirty years.
Riviera’s approach is rooted in the fundamentals of acoustics and draws upon the seminal studies of last century’s leading pioneers in the field. This has enabled the company to establish new benchmarks in high-fidelity listening. The objective is to ensure that audio amplifiers are designed to meet the highest standards in reproducing sound events in a realistic and natural manner for the listener.
Riviera has defined a new combination of choices that realise these key points of sound reproduction and which, from the point of view of the technologies used, constitute an absolutely innovative proposal. These key points can be summarised as follows:
- Zero Overall Feedback
- Use of ‘Class A’ in all stages
- Hybrid circuitry, with valves (triodes) for signal processing and solid-state devices for the power stages
- Electrical measurements determined by listening, not the other way around
- Laboratory-quality construction and Made in Italy design
These are some of the exclusive solutions that guarantee every Riviera product delivers extreme quality, synthesising the best of today’s audio reproduction approaches. The combination of these features did not exist until the Riviera project was launched.
Riviera represents a new chapter in Italian excellence and is the result of extensive research applied to technology.
Just listen.
