speakers/ amps liking one another
Focal has been teaming up with Naim for a number of years now. You may want to take a look at something from Naim that replaces your present items from Peachtree.  
CD Transport Question

Help…looking to buy turntable
I purchased from Underwood their LSA 2 that is made by Edwards Audio. Its [essentially] the guts of a Rega with an improved tone arm and acrylic platter.   https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-turntables  
Budget integrated amp needed
NAD's Class D amps from the last few years are excellent. A used one should be available within or close to what you are seeking to spend. I have a C 268 and have been very pleased with it.  SAFEANDSOUND sells refurbished NAD Amplifiers.  
Short list of musical subwoofers
I recently decided to go with two subs and started at the bottom pricing of companies that had free trial and return. Got two RSL Speedwoofers. Never returned them as I thought they integrated beautifully with my transmission line Atlantic Technol...

Best sub for music,
If the RSLs don't work, will then try Rythmik or HSU.  
Best sub for music,
I'm on a budget and am awaiting arrival of a pair of RogerSound Labs Speedwoofers. I don't like the fact they are ported, but am going to give them a try as they feature transmission line design [which matches what I have with my Atlantic Technolo...

I was looking for floor standing speakers that I could place within two feet of the wall. Was looking at LSAs and other offerings he had and he talked me out of them. I asked him about transmission line offerings and [while he didn't carry them] h... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
I've enjoyed the sound out of the NAD C286.  80 Watts per channel or you can run two of them in bridged mode at 300 Watts per channel. I've bought one and plan to add a second [for bridged mode] when the time is right. $899 each [new] and some ret...

I was going to write that The Music Room posted a used Herron VTPH-2A yesterday for $2,299 but it sold within a day. Hopefully you were the lucky purchaser.
