Integrated Amp upgrade

I have a Maarntz PM-84D integrated amplifier. I bought it 2 years ago to upgrade from a Adcom 545 preamp and B&K 202 amp.

The stereophile stated back in 1988 that the Marantz PM-94D was the best integrated amp in the market. The difference between the PM94D and the PM84D was the power output as far as I could learn.

I wonder if anyone has upgraded from the old Marantz integrated amps to the newer integrated amps such as Creek 5350SE or the Musical Fidelity A300 and Rega Mira and found significant improvement.

I can't comment from personal experience, but I notice that the British mags still rate Marantz gear very highly. I think the latest What Hi-Fi had the Marantz integrated as a top pick, along with Roksan and Arcam, with the MF down a notch. Ditto the "ki" versions of the CDP's. FWIW
