speakers for creek 5350se?

I also am enjoying the 5350SE as my amp. I am using the Harbeth Compact 7ES monitors and an M&K MX-700 subwoofer, (I use two "Y" cables at the pre-out and main-in as RCA access to drive the sub.) This combo is very, very good at a total price of about $4K. A monitor/sub combo allows great flexibility in figuring ideal placement in your room.

Please, please do yourself a favor and buy the very best speaker you can afford and treat your room's reflection points, (unless you listen in nearfield.) This is much more important than cables and wires.

Good luck,

Charlie

Meadowlark Kestrel Hotrod. Superb soundstage and excellent bass with a good amp like yours.

Acoustic Energy AE1 Series II

What are your desires in the upgrade ? Bottom end or transparency / resolution ? In my experience going for transparency / resolution AND great depth/bottom end in a single package means big $$$$. That's why I recently added a REL strata sub to my Densen / Spica Angelus combination. The spicas have a lovely mid/treble, but couldn't drive the low end. The combination is fantastic ... I'd say better than the Kef 103s which a friend has.

If it's mainly for transparency then the AE1s (mentioned above) are very good, and proacs might work well. Also try out Epos if you can find them. I've always liked Epos, but never heard them with Creek. However the companies are closely tied now, so I wouldn't be surprised if the products work well together. Then there's always the Spendor 3/5. (Sorry for my obvious Brit bias ... it's what I am most familiar with, being a Brit myself).

Totem speakers work very well with Creek. I heard a 5350 driving the Totem forest and it was very good. I am currently driving Totem Arros with a Creek 4330 using Nordost Blue Heaven spkr and ic's and it is very sweet and I will be upgrading to a 5350 very soon primarily to get a better remote switiching.
