Hey all,
It's been too long since I've had a functional 2-channel setup and I miss the sound of my speakers. Going a little stir crazy and I simply can't wait possibly 2 years until we buy a house soo... someone help me spend some cash.
My needs are simple:
- I live in an apartment so I don't need 200 wpc.
- My budget is $1,000
- Solid-State
- Remote Control
- Integrated DAC would be nice but not necessary, Squeezebox does analog out.

I'm in no rush. Not much locally that interests me so I figured I'd check in to see what the community has for sale. Seen a nice Peachtree unit so far...
And I also see much has changed with you. Congrats on the store! That HALO gear... -

Thanks for the offer Rick.
I was initially looking for something used but welcome suggestions for new pieces as well. That being said, you posted a very slick piece. I'll let you know if I go down that road.
That Peachtree Nova is very nice indeed... -
here's one if 50 watts will do. does not have a dac but comes with a phono stage. and with the money you save you can get a dac.

Guys,
I've been talking with Paul about the Nova and am sold but after factoring in exchange, taxes and duty, it's a major turn off... Our dollar is a lot worse than I realized. It's so worth what he's asking for it but I'll be at $800.
It's really not a good time to buy from the states...
Never getting rid of them.
