Only Option To Listen KZbin Sound Demo is with good headphones, not your favorite sound system because listening to two rooms at once is not a good thing, no matter how good your sound system is.,
My Preferred Headphones For KZbin Sound Demo,

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

[@JosephTongret]

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!

[@Tharbamar]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dalstar925]

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.

[@JosephTongret]

@@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 🤣

[@JosephTongret]

@@dalstar925 also, the used market is your friend when you are looking to buy and try different speakers!

[@tonyjennings9739]

Thanks for the equipment reviews. I've found a few of your sound demos interesting, with unfamiliar artists who are worth exploring. It would be great if you could share a more extensive list of your favorite performers in quality recordings.

[@mzondi1970]

I'm not usually a kef fan But these sound very nice I like them better than the other speakers

[@myu4039]

Great review, Thanks!

[@Tharbamar]

Thanks for watching!

[@Novilicious]

Have you tried Purifi Eigenkakt from NAD? I’d love to see how it compares

[@ronaldvulcain3953]

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

[@kokrisda5796]

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

[@shane6326]

Still good content my friend! Keep up the good show!! 👏👏👏

[@Tharbamar]

Thanks for your support.

[@bradlee2594]

I like your taste in music. Do you have a playlist available anywhere?

[@Tharbamar]

I do not have online playlist, thanks

[@dennishill290]

Love the wood console.... want one.

[@Tharbamar]

It is beautiful.

[@victorchiappetta3230]

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

[@rossybossy100]

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

[@jkym3706]

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

[@Tharbamar]

I would go with M5si, thanks

[@freelancer1499]

@@Tharbamar Hi Tharbamar! I am looking at Nova 300 and Musical fidelity M6i, both around same price used. Any chance u have experience using them with ATC smc11 speakers or ATC speakers? Thanks!

[@Tharbamar]

​@@freelancer1499 M6i may be better choice with ATC speakers, thanks

[@p.damascene6462]

Is it same as Quad Vena 2?

[@Jake-go2lq]

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

[@connorduke4619]

Tharbamar, in the meantime I hear Peachtree GaN400 smokes Nova300 with 100 more watts and especially GaNFET technology. Will you be able to review/demo that some time?

[@Tharbamar]

Probably I will do in the future, thanks

[@vivianokeswa488]

Hi great presentation. I have a Peachtree Carina 300. How do I push to its best performance? Feels like something is lacking, volume is quiet till -50 , -49 and ⬇️

[@Tharbamar]

You can’t do much other than using more sensitive speakers.

[@redleather100]

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.

[@drewabe1410]

My friend has a nova 300 with a Bluesound node 2i. Running Tekton Pendragon at 4ohms. 450wpc, when you turn it up it absolutely gets to concert levels. Their granite counter vibrates at 30ft away.

[@Tharbamar]

Great set up!

[@markharris2798]

..that sounds like an awesome system your friend has... I love Tekton speakers...I have the Lore reference and Electrons... You hear those speakers compared to other speakers...wonder why...

[@markharris2798]

*never*

[@67spankadelik]

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.

[@Tharbamar]

Tube stage is no longer required in highly improve new design, thanks

[@67spankadelik]

@@Tharbamar My next integrated will be the Nova 500 or Primaluna Evo 200. Undecided at the moment but I'm a fan of Peachtree. Thank you for your highly informative reviews!

[@connorduke4619]

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

[@PP-nh1lv]

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

[@Tharbamar]

You can reach me at my channel name at gmail, thanks

[@miltonballester1826]

Where you get those beautiful acoustic pannels?

[@Tharbamar]

Hi those are custom made, thanks

[@braxtkj]

so does it sound thin overall compared to Denon pma sx11?

[@Tharbamar]

I had that comparison in the video, thanks

[@tg6373]

Will the Nova 300 be a good match with the JBL L100 75s?

[@Tharbamar]

It may sound a little flat for my taste.

[@-MarkWinston-]

Tharbamar, please do a comparison between the new Diamond 12.2 vs Super Diamond 225

[@Tharbamar]

I’m getting a lot of request for Diamond 12 series, I will do if I can get a sample, thanks

[@carlsitler9071]

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.

[@slawek6829]

Do B&w 702s2 will sound good with nova 300?

[@Tharbamar]

It will sound a bit dry.

[@slawek6829]

@@Tharbamar Thank You...which one in YOUR opinion is very good for 702s2?hegel 390...anthem str or something else?

[@Tharbamar]

@@slawek6829 Personally I would use them with Marantz Amps.

[@slawek6829]

@@Tharbamar Thank You for your help.One more question.1.Marantz model 30 integrated amplifier or 2.Marantz MM 8077 amplifier with separate dac?If #2 whitch dac would be best for 702s2. Trying to buy something good.can 5 chanel amp with dac sound the same as integrated stereo 2 channel ?

[@vdm54]

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.

[@jaecraep7657]

Know that drum beat, 311 fan huh?

[@Tharbamar]

For sure.

A few more Amps, thanks

[@margix1172]

Compared to the Denon is ugly and small and I bet the Denon sounds even better

[@jimbendtsen8841]

The monotone delivery makes it difficult to stay listening.
