Jobsys Integrated vs Peachtree Nova150

The PeachTree Nova150 arrived, using BCJ 12AWG speaker cables with the Kef LS50s.  Aesthetically looks fantastic, how ever I noticed I have to turn the volume up pretty high to get loud.  Is this normal or is the amp under powered?  Or needs to be broken in?

I just hope it's not a noisy one.  Seems to be the main complaint on PT amps.

Congrats! The peachtree is a great amp, you can't go wrong.  

@nycjlee thanks for chiming in.  I ended up pulling the trigger on PT N150 today, couldn't pass up on the deal. Also I purchased the Job INT, but canceled the order because they wanted another $150 for being a California resident.  I've been combing the Internet for the last couple of weeks and read all the reviews and comment on the Job INT.  Long story short, was a little worried about the Job converting analog signal into digital.  Not sure if this is phase I am going through, if in it for the long haul.  Perhaps a Job 225 and preamp down the road.

The first thing to note is that the Job INT is made by Goldmund (we’re talking very high end audio) and is a Class AB amp vs the Peachtree which is a Class D amp. Many audiophiles will say that a Class AB amp sounds better, but Class D amps have come a long way and also sound very good. In general, speakers that are designed in Europe (UK), in my view, match better with amps designed in Europe. With that said, I would imagine that the Job maybe a better match for your KEFs. Of course the best thing would be to audition all both amps, but if you had to go blind, personally I would go with the Job and KEF match up. Btw, It a bit more expensive than the Job, but I think you own it to yourself to also check the Hegel H80.  At the end of the day, trust your own ears.
