I went the integrated route with an Arcam A19 for a while. My advice is get something with decent gutz. The Arcam went into the classifieds within 6 months. Replaced with a unit that will carry me to retirement.
50wpc was a waste of time. I would suspect the peachtree nova at 65w(?) wouldnt be superb either. I quickly lost faith in online reviews and mags after that experience. Stereophile subscription not renewed. I would use reviews for info and not much else.
Seriously, if you are into stereo audio get a tanky 150wpc setup and be set for life. Integrated is definitely the cheaper route.
My opinion I guess. Good luck!
