I have a Peachtree Nova 300. If you want all the bells and whistles, a lot of power, a small and attractive unit that sounds good, it's worth checking out.
I recently purchased a Heed Elixir, and am very happy with it. No bells or whistles other than a MM phono pre. It's relatively small and to my ears sounds better than the Peachtree. Stereophile has a review that I think is spot on.
I haven't heard the Halo, so can't comment on whether I would prefer either of these to it, but I am familiar with the Parasound "house sound" and if it sounds like what I've heard from Parasound in the past, either of these integrateds might be an improvement to your ears. Go audition them if you can.
