I do own a pair of Aegis Ones and drive them with a Kora Mercury integrated. The sound is fantastic. I have owned a Creek 4330 and thought it was good for the money but could be a little harsh on the top end unless mated with speakers that were a little dark. My advice to you would be to try something like a Jolida 302 or 502, which is in the same price range as the Creek, or if you can afford it the Kora, and enjoy real music through tubes. I picked up my Kora for under $1000 on AudiogoN and I have seen Jolida's for around $400 to $500. Good luck.
