Creek 5350se vs. Cambridge Audio 840a V2


Hi I'm am agonizing over these two integrated amps. Heard them both and liked them both. Other options include the Naim Nait 5i or the Roksan Kandy K2 (although having two speaker outs would be a bonus). System is quite simple: B&W 800 series, Arcam alpha 7se (quite old but still v. nice).

Thanks for you help!

I go for the Creek5350. It has a seperate power supply for the pre & power amp to avoid cross contamination of signal.

Function wise Creek is better & slick!

It has a good tonal balance and natural timber accross frequencies. It's a fast amp good for pop rock and other music aswell.

Michael Creek (owner) still design and choose carefully the parts based on his standards. I just dont know who design the Cambridge now.

Between Creek & Cambridge.....Creek is more English I would say.

Good Luck
