I have the Sony SACD Modded c222 changer which worked very well with my MF 3.2 and M20 speakers in a fairly small room semi nearfield set up. Plent of power, loads of bass ( if it was on the recording ) and smooth, musical albeit slightly laid back presentation with excellent imaging. Some reviewer said 'tenth row'. The MF 3.2 had two minuses for me. No balance control, and rather bright blue LED's at night. I still have the amp in it's box and would let it go for $630 ( good price ). It's in perfect working condition, still pretty low hours. I know the remote function works, but I do not have the remote. If that interests you, you may contact me. The Creek has less power, but was a Stereophile recommeded component. Check their review of both. I don't know anything about the MF 3.5. In any event, any of those will do an admirable job. Good Luck to you. I'm emailing from school, my home email is Jeff@saber.net
