I think the creek will sound a little smoother and more open. Probably a better soundstage also. Keep in mind that Maggies are power hungry! I really wouldn't buy anything under 100 watts to run them. 200 watts isn't a bad idea.
I did have maggie 10.1s and ran them for fun with a 17 watt triode amp. They sounded great but, no bass and no volume at all. My 100 watt threshold did much better.
