It is only 35W/ch @ 8R,70W @ 4R 140W @ 2R
It is being made for the Belgium Market and then later available world wide.
It runs about 20W push pull Class A.
It has RCA and Balance inputs,
It BW is 10Hz - 300KHz
It has a single transformer but twin bridge a each channel will have 100,000uF of caps,
It will made to go with these speaker oh watch the video Harley is good at chat,

PCB now assembled.
Top left PCB convert Balance to un-Balance,Top right PCB is the twin bridge PSU with 88,000uF Caps and the 12V supply for the Balance PCB and the ON LED drive. The bottom two PCB's are the power Amp, they will be running 35W P-P Class A.
NOTE:- The balance PCB can have a variable gain control not used in this project.
Running the PCB on +20 and _20VDC will allow with larger heat sink a deeper current and more Class A, also note the DC offset can be adjusted to less than 1mV, max current is 12A continuous and 1mS peak current can be over 100Amps. Then the fuse blows.
Great fun on a lock down day.

With a name like Sibelius, I'm surprised it wasn't being made for the Finland Market.

Well it was designed at great time and expense for a Dutch Company who expected to get it on the cheap, but like my normal trusting foolish self I trusted them, oh boy was I wrong and stupid. 
So the design as been over hauled and improved and is sounding much better than the original. And the great good news is at least with sales I have got my money (retirement fund) back for all the parts and tooling. But sadly no contribution to time/cost or years of experience/ uni, study etc, which still had to be paid for and just think of all the time I missed by studies and not getting stoned like some of the lads I knew.
And all that for the greedy mindless design thieves out there GM, PM, KMc, AR, AR, PF, RK, TW, SL, so called friends. And to go and get awards etc. for no effort in design by them selves just stolen work. And made homeless three times by these non-feeling humans.
So you new designer and creative humans do not bother the morons will steel it anyhow they can. Bitter me never !?*!?* angry yes. 😡

Did you see this thread Colin? Credit given where credit is due! 
Guessing the Sibelius is even better sounding. 
Keep on keeping on!

I just learned that a Havenite designed the Naim 5i series of integrateds
Colin Wonfor. From post #25. "Actually all the Nait 5i amps are based on a power amp with passive preamp (volume) Designed (as a consultant for Naim) by the man who founded: Inca Tech, Tellurium Q and now the EWA cable range."...

I think so but I am very biased I like tight bass no wobble sounds here, and good tinkle on symbols. Fast and deep, then run away.Did you see this thread Colin? Credit given where credit is due!

The Nait 5i was a challenge from my designs in the past woolly🦳🕶️ and soft.
