best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music?

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

My vote would go to the Creek assuming that you do not expect to rock the house down. I owned a 4240s2, the integrated before they came out with the 4330, that was used with a pair of Spica TC 50 speakers. I listen to quite a bit of acoustic and electric rock and found the combination to be very satisfying. It did not, however, blow you away by its ability to play loud. Within its limited range the Creek, IMHO, is the most musical integrated amplifier of the bunch.
Good Luck.

The Bryston B60 is a fine unit with a nice live feel and sells used for about $1,000 -- plus it has a 20 year transferrable warranty. I'd be careful about overextending it but it should work very well in mid-sized spaces with reasonably efficient speakers (probably true for most of the units mentioned). I've not heard them with B&W's though. Cheers.
