A few questions Peachtree Audio often get asked about the nova500 and amp500:
What speaker do you recommend for the
nova500? We don't. It doesn't really matter. It will drive anything out there and you will hear things you haven't heard before. Same applies to the
amp500. The power takes care of any issues created by low speaker sensitivity and the transparency lets the music shine through unadulterated at any volume level.
Does the
nova500 have too much power for my speaker? No. We will always advise "over-powering" a speaker than "under-powering" one. Under-powering a speaker leads to amplifier clipping, which can result in damaged driver(s) in a very short time frame. You can, also, over-power a speaker by pushing one or more of the drivers beyond their mechanical limits. But the majority of failed speakers are due to amplifier clipping. In other words, someone turned up the volume beyond the level the amplifier could output cleanly and one or more of the drivers in the speaker stopped working as a direct result. The speaker didn't fail...the amplifier failed the speaker. If you have ever "blown" a speaker (and who hasn't at some point in their life?), this is most likely what occurred.

This is it...the one you’ve been waiting for and the one we’ve always wanted to build…the incredible new
nova500.
The

The
nova500 is designed to provide the ultimate link between all of your source devices and your speakers with the most powerful and “cleanest” amplifier section we have ever offered. But the

Why Peachtree Audio?
From the beginning of
Peachtree Audio, we've tried to merge old-school audiophile thinking, where sound quality always comes first, with a decidedly new-school digital/computer audio savvy mind set. The result has been a series of award-winning amplifiers, DACs and speakers enjoyed by music lovers all over the world.
In 2017
Peachtree Audio is celebrated its 10th anniversary with new products that are so improved, we’ve re-launched the company as
Peachtree Audio 2.0. Our new flagship
Nova Series of amplifiers can push any speaker on the market and easily replace a large stack of electronics with virtually no loss in performance.
Peachtree Audio has always been a good value, but now that
Peachtree Audio 2.0 engineering and manufacturing have been moved to North America, we believe
Peachtree Audio's value is greater than ever.
This may sound like marketing hype without the back story. We invite you to see for yourself what's behind
Peachtree Audio's leap forward.
Peachaudio Audio History
Peachtree Audio introduced our first product in 2007: the groundbreaking
Decco* integrated amplifier. Audio industry veterans Jim Spainhour and David Solomon recognized that music listeners were moving toward computer-based audio, but the business-as-usual industry was not adjusting. Unwilling to compromise audio quality for the admitted convenience of digital files, they conceived of a new kind of integrated amplifier. This would be an amplifier with a digital-to-analogue converter inside, able to extract maximum fidelity from computer music files and from digital music streamers like Sonos and Apple TV. Thus was the iconic
Decco born - debuting to great critical acclaim and laying the foundation of
Peachtree Audio's reputation for innovation and great sound at down to earth prices.
* The Decco was the world's first integrated amplifier to feature a USB input, allowing its onboard digital-to-analogue converter to process music files directly from a computer. *
Innovation • Great Sound • Value
That's "Why
Peachtree?"**
