marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.


Which of these 2 amps would you recommend ? To be connected to Tannoy  xt6f's. Currently 
driven by a Harmon Kardon 3490 stereo receiver that must go. It was given to me witch was cool .
But now I see why. Anything else in the $1200 to $1500 range would be fine. Thanks much.

I'm a fan of Class A/B compared to Class D, so I'd give the nod to the Marantz. Looking at the specs, it can easily handle your Tannoy speakers with room to spare.

I still have my Marantz PM-15S2b and it's made in Japan, not China, and so is the 8006, unless they changed their line up and how and where they make them. 

Like stated, they err on the warm side of neutral, but only slightly. Better aftermarket PCs can do wonders with the soundstage and dynamics and if you're a fanatic (like me), opt for a better fuse down the road. 👍

The base I got out of my two way monitors was amazing with my Marantz so I can only imagine how well the base will be with the Tannoy.

All the best,
