Quick Question: Creek 5350SE or McCormack Micro pwr & Micro pre?

I would wait to make any further decisions until you get the speakers focused on their 3 point sound anchor base.
Your perceptions will change with this.
The timing of the system will seem to go to a new appreciated level.
 With all the AQ cables you added and performing proper tilt back as followed in the manual you can then make a better decision.

My Creek is impressive. Delicate and refined. Remote. Two sets of speaker outs. Built like a tank. Good luck finding a great used Creek 5350SE. 

I can't give a comparison, but I will say you can send in the McCormack to SMcAudio and have them upgrade it to impressive specs.
In fact, they just did mine.
