integrated amp recommendation needed

used 2 ch integrated amp

would love to get the creek evolution 100a but the cheapest used price found was $1500 - out of my budget

Cambridge CXa80 will drive those speakers just fine, plus a decent DAC, balanced inputs, sub out, etc included.

Some in your price range on eBay.

anybody auditioned/have the Peachtree Audio Nova 150 Integrated Amplifier?

I second the Yamaha, perhaps the A-S1000(or A-S801) which can be found new at a friendly price. Quite powerful, smooth sounding, nice features plus excellent build quality. Just one of many options out there...
