Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ?


I will be in the market for a Solid State integrated amp in the $1500-$1800 price range. I am curious about Musical Fidelity gear vs. the new Creek. Other recommendations? I would like this amp to be able to drive a wide array of speakers from box to planar, as I change speakers from time to time.

I currently have a pair of Thiel CS 2.3, and a perpetual tech. digital front end. Any expereinced opinions?

The Plinius 8150/8200 is a good choice. I love my 8150. It drives B&W 803s with ease. Used $1600-1800.
I should have mentioned that I want this amp to have a phono stage. I will spend up to $2500 as i would like to have it for a long time. I appreciate all the feedback.
If you will spend up to $2500 new and want phono, then add the YBA Integre DT to your list.
Lots of good recommendations. I don't know the size of your room nor listening levels, but some of the respondents may be right that the smaller units may not be satisfactory to you - especially if you go planar. Of the higher output models listed, I know the Classe and Musical Fidelity have phono stages - not sure about all the others. In addition to these rec's, you can usually find a couple Krell 300i's around here. You nay get real lucky and find a used Rowland Concentra at the upper end of your range. You'd keep more options open if you get an outboard phono, or even consider separates. And I know you asked for SS, but if you consider tubes, at this price range a Rogue Tempest is hard to beat and has the features you want. Good luck!
