Must say this combo sounds excellent. Effortless, smooth yet detailed and fantastically dynamic.

I have a Nova 150 in a white case that I picked up about 6 months ago. It's incredibly smooth sounding, a touch of warmth, and it really pairs well with any speaker that's a little on the bright side. Great piece of gear that I plan on keeping in my little collection!

Agreed. Have one as well and it turned my Klipsch rp600m into little monsters. I was looking for new speakers as they were kind of my entry into this realm, but once I got the nova, I’ve barely looked at speakers. I think I’m going to wait until I can afford a BIG upgrade. Heck the Nova turned my micca rb42 I bought for a desktop setup into something I didn’t want to stop listening to. Can’t imagine anyone giving a bad review to them.

@@dalstar925 I have a pair of 600M's also, and the Peachtree do pair extremely well with them. If you're going to upgrade, I'd say step it up to something around 2k msrp, or something with a very different sound signature if you just want to try something that sounds "different". I like having speakers with very different sound signatures personally. I'm also a bit compulsive though, so I'm always buying new pieces of gear, lol! Perfect hobby for my compulsive character I guess 🤣

Tks for the review. Would you interface the nova 150 with the magnepan LRS + ?

Great review! If you had to choose between the peachtree Nova 300 vs Musical fidelity M5si, both for about the same price used. To power Wharfedale Evo 4.2s, which would you prefer? Currently I'm leaing towards the M5si as I would like a bit more punch in the lower end. From your review about the Nova i dont think it would add that to the Evos

How would you feel about the Nova 300 with Klipsch Cornwall IV?

Tharbamar would you please compare between Klipsch r41m vs JBL stage A130 . question from Thailand.Thank you

I still enjoy my Peachtree Grand Pre paired with a D-sonic M3A-3000S Class D amplifier. The combination will drive any speaker system in existence with authority. I'm running Magnepan 1.7 at the moment and the combination drives them with an iron grip. The tube section actually does a great job. However I'm still curious to hear what Peachtree's latest technology sounds like. I may check out the Nova 500.

Try Peachtree GaN400 with GaNFET transistors, it is a step up again.

I had the nova 300 and found it so bright I couldn’t listen to it . That was on a pair of dynaudio c1mk2 speakers , I’ve since purchased a Cambridge audio edge a. Which is a total opposite.

I pair these with the martin Logan electro motion 8's

Hey Tharbamar, I am rebuilding a system after selling mine due to lack of employment during Covid. My wife and I have heard the KEF R 11’S and really like them. With all your experience with integrated amplifiers I’d like to communicate with you more on your preferences. Is there some way to email or call you? I’d be happy to pay you for your time and knowledge! Thank you, Paul

Aperion VIII Grand V8T gives a more stable and correct musical picture and the bass is deeper. P.S.Until 2020 class D lost to class A / B at the same price.

Anyone know if this is good for movies as well as music?

Is it same as Quad Vena 2?

That is some good power. My $70 amp is only 150 wpc (with upgraded $35 48v/7amp power supply). There is a good chance they measure similarly.
