COMMENTS
The numbers x and y form an IWGM-amicable pair (IWGM = Inverse Weighted Geometric Mean). See Dimitrov link.
Every amicable pair forms an IWGM-amicable pair, so the larger member of an amicable pair A002046 is a term of this sequence. In addition, every pair of the form (1, p), where p is a prime, also forms an IWGM-amicable pair, so every term of A000040 is a term of this sequence.
Most likely, there are no other solutions except those whose second component belongs to A000040 or A002046.

EXAMPLE
(220, 284) is such a pair because 220^sigma(220)*284^sigma(284) = (220*284)^(220+284).
