nooo, I will not go the NAD route...It is only about as good sounding as the Nak AV10 i'm currently using...the last thing i want to do is move laterally. Sure the NAD will sound different than the Nakamichi, but it certainly won't elevate the overall system performance.
As far as the same price as the Creek 5350se, I don't think so. The Creek is more expensive,without a doubt.
Perhaps the Creek is not the best match either, but my search continues...
Looking at the Primare a20. Not sure how this will perform with the speakers, but it can't hurt to try.
By the way, i've put off buying an integrated for a while - instead, i have upgraded my source with the addition of an MSB Link DACIII. I figure that I might as well start at the source in order to realize the full potential of any amp i choose...
(and let me tell you, the addition of that DAC makes a HUGE difference)
