NAD C-370, or c-350 rated 120 wpc/60 wpc conservativly i have the 120 wpc c370 and i love it. Highly rECCOMEND, also try the Musical Fidelity X-a2 at audioadvisor in the clearacnce
I tried the creek & it went into thermal shutdown. I wound up with a MF XA-1. It plays plenty loud for the bookshelf system it's in. I even moved it into the main system to have a listen & it was respectable. Check out AA like Haoleb mentioned. X-A1 around $450, X-A2 around $600.Good luck!
easy- the rega mira
it just jams and connects with rhythmic movement, dynamics and pace.

the creek is a bit underpowered tho I quite like the amp
the puccini is lacking in dynamics and punch-a snooze
the complete is a very good all rounder but not as pacey or rhythmic
the MFxa1 is static and voiced more for tonal stuff(never heard the xa2)
haven't heard the cambridge long enuf nor in a familiar context to say.sounded fine from what i heard
