any reasons NOT to buy a peachtree nova?

this unit looks amazing. i've heard the decco and it sounds great already, is the Nova a noticeable step up in sound quality?

the speakers i plan on using are the B&W 805S

i was thinking of getting the nova, and if i feel like i need more power, i would add an external amp since the nova has a pre-out

what do nova owners think of their nova's? any regrets?

also, kind of off-subject, but if i were to get a nova and connect the pre-out to a stereo amp. how would i hook up a subwoofer?

thanks

I'm curious, those who have purchased Novas... did they have a notable break in period. I just acquired one and it seems very bass shy out of the box. Midrange, treble and imaging are all good (phase is wired correctly). Just wondering what people's experience is.

Bass is sounding fine now. I think it was the speakers it was driving.

My friend took the unit "out shopping" for a pair of speakers. We listened to it with Rega RS-3's, a $2k pair of Avalon floor standers, Vandersteen 1's (all new) and used Triangle Celius and Audio Physic Yara floor standers. It had problems driving the Regas and the Avalons - which was a bit surprising, I thought the Regas would have been a great match. Sounded pretty nice with all the other three. The Triangles were punchy, dynamic, but slightly sybalent. The Audio Physics had a really nice tuneful bass, not as midrange forward or quite as dynamic as the Triangles, but did a nice job dissappearing. He ultimately chose the Audio Physics, and I think that was a good decision.
