Upgrade path question with $2k to spend

Ok so how about this then.  I like to occasionally listen to the system loud.  I'm getting 200+ wpc through my yamaha.  The integrated amps I see are not even close to that kind of power. Suggestions?

Looking at peachtree Nova 300.  That amp looks like it kicks ass.  300 WPC and 0.005% THD?  Thats a lot less noisy than the Emotiva XPA-2 I was looking at and only $500 more.  What do you all think about that amp?  Should I use its built in phono stage or continue w/ my phono-pre?

I really don't see how my $2,000 Yamaha running in pure direct mode with 200wpc is affecting the sound quality.  Who cares if it can do 13.2 I'm running it in 2.1 or 2.0.  I was thinking going emotiva xpa 3 for a power Amp for my fronts and then I'd be able to run a Dirac Live setup.  Still feel like my TT and cart are the weakest links

May I ask why you feel that way?  I mean my current Phonobox DS+ has multiple settings for MM/MC carts and seems like its adequate at $500.  If i upgraded to a $2,000 phono stage and kept my $500 TT and MC cart would that even make a difference?  My feelings were upgrading closer to the source.  

Ok so can I run both a 2 channel integrated Amp AND my HT Amp to my speakers at the same time and just switch off somehow?

I have 7.1 so I'll be keeping the Yammy for HT.  I'm thinking of external amp with HT bypass being fed by a miniDSP so I can get Dirac Live (I need major correction in my room and can't treat it)

Was seeing good things about the Peachtree

Ok I am spending my $2k on the Marantz TT-15.  After all your advice and looking at reviews of that table it seems like a steal.  I will report back.  Thanks everyone
