Just purchased the Creek 4330R and simply thrilled!! I am using it to power a pair of B&W CDM7se's in a moderately-sized room (18x12x8) and I must say even at 40 wpc, there is plenty of power to spare. What's really incredible about this amp is its smoothness and amazing low-level detail. I am immensely satisfied with this product and would recommend it without hesitation! |

This is a minimal amplifier, and you'll see why from the very moment you switch it on - all the money was invested in the sound. This is a great, and very musical, design. I use it with a Rega Planet and a pair of ProAc Tablette 50s and it does the job perfectly, belying its different price-tag. No comparison with my ancient NAD amp: the Creek beats it (and the new NAD designs) hands down. As a matter of fact, it's hard to believe an amp this cheap can sound so good. |

I have been listening to integrated amplifiers (I do have a budget) lately that have included the Creek 4330R ($595), Classe' CAP-80 ($1350), Acurus DIA-100 ($1200), Rotel 970BX ($495) and the Denon something? (who cares)($795). Obviously I have looked at a wide range of prices and quality. At 40W/ch I did not think it would have the power I was looking for, but it blew away the 70W Rotel and 100W Denon. Not only in shear power but no comparison in sound quality either. In the store I was able to turn the volume control to about 2 O'Clock before I detected sound degredation. Because they were at different stores I could not directly compare the Classe', Acurus and Creek but all had (by my standards) good sound quality and power to justify a home demo of each. |

In fact I would like to know your opinion about this integrated amp.I'm still hesitant to choose between this and the NAD amp. pricing under $500. |
