I have used both a Creek (the 5350) and NAD amps (104 + 204, if memory serves correctly) with PSB speakers (Alpha Mini, Stratus Bronze). Both are GREAT matches with PSB gear. IMO, you have to spend a lot more to beat either of those combinations.
Good amp for 110 sq. ft. room / PSB alpha monitors
I'm currently looking for a good new amp to use with a pair of bang-for-your-buck, lower end speakers such as the PSB Alpha B1 monitors, Paradigm Atoms, or Totem Dreamcatchers (links to specs at bottom).
My room is small, approximately 110 square feet, though I do tend to listen at concert volume. Music-wise, I primarily listen to classical---especially newer music with sharp, percussive attacks; piano music; and the standard orchestral fare. Next on the list would be experimental/electronic music, jazz, bluegrass, etc.
At this time, I need to keep things under $400 or so. A basic NAD amp has been recommended as a good, practical solution, but I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.
