My vote would go to the Creek assuming that you do not expect to rock the house down. I owned a 4240s2, the integrated before they came out with the 4330, that was used with a pair of Spica TC 50 speakers. I listen to quite a bit of acoustic and electric rock and found the combination to be very satisfying. It did not, however, blow you away by its ability to play loud. Within its limited range the Creek, IMHO, is the most musical integrated amplifier of the bunch.
Good Luck.
