Creek 5350se vs. Cambridge Audio 840a V2


Hi I'm am agonizing over these two integrated amps. Heard them both and liked them both. Other options include the Naim Nait 5i or the Roksan Kandy K2 (although having two speaker outs would be a bonus). System is quite simple: B&W 800 series, Arcam alpha 7se (quite old but still v. nice).

Thanks for you help!

I recently compared the Cambridge 840 amp against the Creek Evolution (which is a serious notch down in quality and price compared to the Creek Destiny). I was really not that impressed with the Cambridge. I thought the Creek Evolution sounded noticable better. Now... I didn't have huge problems or anything with the Cambridge 840, its just that I don't feel that it sounded that great for the amount it costs. So... I would have to assume that the Creek Destiny would sound better than the Cambridge 840.

But I guess, the best thing you can do is hear them side by side at a dealer and see what you think.
