Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ?

I will be in the market for a Solid State integrated amp in the $1500-$1800 price range. I am curious about Musical Fidelity gear vs. the new Creek. Other recommendations? I would like this amp to be able to drive a wide array of speakers from box to planar, as I change speakers from time to time.

I currently have a pair of Thiel CS 2.3, and a perpetual tech. digital front end. Any expereinced opinions?

I have a Redgum RGi120s integrated amplifier, and have been impressed with it since day one. I checked out Primare, Roksan, Rega, NAD, Arcam, Plinius, Creek, etc when purchasing my amp. I am extremely happy with what the Redgum brings to my system(Soliloquy 6.3, Arcam cd92). The retail is 2k, but a demo could be had for about 1500. One word of advise, the pictures don't do this unit justice, the wood faceplate is stunning.

The Plinius 8150/8200 is a good choice. I love my 8150. It drives B&W 803s with ease. Used $1600-1800.

I should have mentioned that I want this amp to have a phono stage. I will spend up to $2500 as i would like to have it for a long time. I appreciate all the feedback.

If you will spend up to $2500 new and want phono, then add the YBA Integre DT to your list.
