Need input regarding integrated amp

I’ve been out of the audio hunt for about 10 years.  Would appreciate input regarding integrated amps.  Putting together small system for living area. Have a pair of sonus faber venare 2.0 that I will use. Need amp to have phono, cd, tv audio via directv, and WiFi and/or Bluetooth compatibility.  Budget range is up to $1500, but less would be good.  Have been researching NAD line.  Grateful for any help. Thanks.

I have been really liking the NAD 3020 D in the bedroom. It is rather modest in power, but highly recommend it as a budget integrated. They make larger models. Check the inputs carefully as some have changed between versions and models.

I had I had a Peachtree Nova, and it was poorly made.  Jacks fell apart, and the digital section totally failed.

Hi @dennistennis

I had a  NAD integrated years ago and the right channel went out after 2 years.  That tainted NAD forever for me. Sadly I didn’t know very much about repairs and such and just try it away.  It could have been a lovely piece I believe now.

good luck

I've owned a first generation Peachtree Nova for 10 years with no problems and in almost daily use - seems well made to me.  I'd recommend looking at their latest versions which come in both 150 and 300 watts and are around your price point.
