Lost Help Amp for PSB imagine T


Hello all.

I'm newbie and totally lost at the very begining.... so please shed the lights.

I was about to build my first low-fi entry level system with NAD C326Bee + PSB image T65.

However last week, I accidently found a good deal in my local area which could not be ignored so bought a pair of excellent condition PSB Imagine T tower speakers. I really like it.

The problem is... I don't own any amp/receiver yet and I have no idea what to choose.
I have a cheapo Yamaha S1800 unversal player as a main cd-player and considering it to use as a transporter with a decent DAC some time in the future.

Followings are my initial lists of integrated amps for PSB Imagine T tower.

NAD C326Bee or up
Creek 5350SE
Naim Nait 5i
Jolida 302B or 1501RC
Cayin integrated
Simaudio Moon i-1

Unfortunately, there are no audio shops near my town so I need your help.
My budget is under $1K and lower the better since I have to spend more into cables, etc,...

What is the best bang for the buck amp for PSB Imagine T?

I own a pair of PSB Platinum T8's paired with a NAD M3 (waiting on an amp stand to use my Musical Fidelity M5 w/all). I also own a Creek 5350 (the newer version) that I use with Monitor Audio Silvers. I've also mixed these amps with my speakers with good results. I'm toying with the idea of buying the Synchrony Ones but that's another story. I obviously can vouch for the NAD and/or Creek and have read good reviews on the other brands but have never listened. I think you will enjoy any pick of those amps w/your new speakers. Be on the lookout for my Creek Classic if the Synchrony Ones keep weighing on my mind.
