Peachtree Gan 400


after 2 +  years of owning this amp - this class d amp still shines on - very smooth (in a good way) - listen to music for hours (literally) - sounds right - i keep coming back to it - i want my ab amp and class a amp and my tube amp to sound as good and sometimes i think they do - and i can make a strong case for them

the ab amp is a little fatiguing after a while - the tube amp is like owning a car that needs to go in the shop every other week

it sounds good for stretches - then it needs work - sounds good - then want to upgrade tubes - the class a amp i think is sounding great sometimes - but alas my class D amp sounds good most of the time 

 the class d amp keeps chugging along - sounding wonderful all of the time - in a time where class d is not trending like it was 2 years ago - the peachtree is so underrated.

helomech - i totally 100% disagree with you. the gan 400 is one of the most un wimpy amps that ive heard - i know it sounds crazy - but i have been playing the gan for the better part of a month now continuous (ive owned the amp for at least 2 years and thought the same thing as helomech). the more it gets played the better and better and better and better - it almost has to break in like a class ab amp. Who would of thunk?

its clear - dynamic - ballsy - true to express the exact notes - the way they were intended. sounds like music . not the glare you hear after 2 hours of listening with a class ab amp.

"Wimpy?" The GaN 400? Just the opposite. I've owned many high-end amps over my many years as an audiophile, and the PA GaN 400 ranks among the best. It's brawny, yet musical and revealing. I'd never have believed a Class D amp could be this good until I heard the GaN 400, now I'm a firm believer. This is the future of power amps.

My second room system the den has the peachtree Nova300 feeding KEF LS50, digital source is a WiiM streamer, from the money cannot be bettered. 

Considered the Peachtree, went with Class D Audio.   SImply awesome dare I say near perfect with my big Ohms and smaller KEF ls50 metas.   Made in USA, brand new GaN design, costs less new than the Peachtree used, claimed stable to 2 ohm, and can drive most any speaker well accordingly.  

Yes, the Class D Audio monos are definitely priced right.  They have been on my radar for a some day update replacement into the Class D group.
 
What I really appreciate is that they have a 100k impedance input which works very nicely with tube preamps.  I have yet to read much about the company through any reviews.
 
Can I ask when you purchased them?  If you’ve had any issues and especially with the KEFs, harder to drive than most speakers, as they dip pretty low and are 85 dB efficient I think?  If you like, a little mini review or even just a frequency assessment of how they do with the range of low mids and highs?   They do have a return policy but thus would be a good start.  TY
