Integrated Amp advice please someone help me

Hi.

I'm in deep "analysis paralysis" and can't seem to pull the trigger on a new integrated amp. Would love to hear your opinions... i'd like to spend no more than $700...

I'm considering:

Creek 4330 (used)
Arcam a65plus (new)
Rotel RA-02 (new)
Musical Fidelity A3 (Kevin @upscale sez a good match and he's selling em' for $850. a bit too rich for my blood though)
Roksan Caspian (used)
Audio Refinement Complete (if i can find one used)

My system now:
NAD 3020a (old, ailing, on its last leg)
Ah! Njoe Tjoeb CDP (brand new)
Clarity Labs Emberglow ICs
Beovox s45 speakers (From the 70s, soon to upgrade)\

(i listen to every concievable kind of music. Ideally i'd love to achieve a significant improvement over the NAD)

Check out HiFi Choice uk maf and What HIFI? uk mags. They recommend good system matches for every budget. For example:
nad c320bee + B&W 602s3 for more detail
arcam a65plus + AE evo 1 warmer sound
You should probably buy the speaker first, see how it sounds and buy an amp that can drive them to the best of their abilities.
