Offered is „APL01 Special Edition + AFM100 Special Edition“ by Riviera as second-hand device from the category „Amplifier (incl. Surround)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4681010020 ends on 27.10.2026 at 18:32 o'clock.
At €68,500, this is far above the typical used market for the piece: the median is €13,159, the 25th percentile is €11,377, and the 75th percentile is €17,730, so the ask sits at a very ambitious premium versus even the upper end of recent comps. Compared with the obvious alternative of buying a clean used example at the market median, you’re paying for something much rarer than a normal resale.
That premium only makes sense if this is a genuinely special, hard-to-find package with exceptional provenance, strong cosmetic condition, and all original accessories included. Riviera’s gear is well regarded for refinement, scale, and a very “big system” presentation, so for the right buyer it can be a serious statement combo rather than a routine electronics purchase. But unless there is outstanding originality, documented service, or collector-grade completeness, this is priced for a buyer who specifically wants the special edition package and is willing to pay well beyond normal used value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Riviera Audio Laboratories, often styled as Riviera Labs, is an Italian high‑end audio marque founded in January 2017 by marketing specialist Silvio Delfino and chief developer Luca Chiomenti. Both bring decades of experience in the hi‑fi industry, with Chiomenti active in audio research and design since the early 1990s and Delfino rooted in hi‑fi journalism and global marketing since the 1980s. The brand positions itself as a continuation of the “Italian School of Super High End,” combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering and a strong emphasis on analogue sound quality.
Riviera Labs focuses on premium electronic components, particularly amplifiers and headphone‑centric integrated designs. The company is known for its AIC‑10 headphone integrated amplifier and AFM‑50 power amplifier, which showcase its preference for non‑conventional circuit topologies, minimal or zero global feedback, and meticulous mechanical construction using Italian aerospace‑grade parts. While amplification is its core, Riviera’s philosophy extends to complete system synergy, often partnering with high‑resolution digital sources and premium cabling in its demonstrations.
In the market, Riviera Labs occupies a niche, boutique tier within the super‑high‑end segment, targeting discerning listeners who value both sonic refinement and distinctive Italian design. Its products are built in small batches, with an uncompromising approach to materials and assembly, reinforcing its reputation as a maker of exclusive, reference‑grade equipment rather than mass‑market gear.
