Thoughts on Peachtree Audio Nova300

I have a pair of Aerial Acoustics 6Ts for a secondary system. Have been looking for an affordable, reasonably small, reasonably attractive integrated all-in-one type solution to drive them with. Will primarily be used for streaming via a Sonos Connect.


Have been looking at the Peachtree Audio Nova300. It is a class D. It is about 14x14". Fairly nice looking. 300 watts into 8 ohms and 500 into 4. Speakers are 4 ohms. Reviews range from good to great.


Peachtree sells open box units for a very reasonable price. They are located near me.


Wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit. Any serious drawbacks I might need to know about. Thanks for any input.

I have owned a peachtree nova 220se and my brother had the 220 and pre combo.  Both were pretty nice sounding.  I feel like all peachtree gear has good power with decent dacs and decent preamps with hit or miss relibility.  Both my 220se and my brothers nova pre went back to be replaced under warranty.  The volume is hard to adjust off the bottom.  It will go from nothing to slightly too loud for late night listening, with the smallest input from the volume control via remote.

You might want to look into the NuPrime IDA-16.  You can pick one up used for around $1200-$1300.
