ASL integrated vs. monoblocks? low end

I have a Creek preamp, and was looking at getting a pair of the 20 watt ASL Wave monoblocks to replace a dead Dynaco Stereo 70. Would I be better off selling the Creek and buying the AQ1003? I'm also open to other suggestions.

I took it to the local audiophile place, and the guy literally laughed at me and said he "wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole". I live in Massachusetts, so there -have- to be repair shops around here, but I haven't been able to find one.

He's worked wonders with my guitar amps in the past and builds hi-fi gear as well.
