Hi all,
I have owned and used vintage Creek amps (4 in total now approx £50 each) for about 5 years. I love them, not hugely powerful but little pocket rockets and enough power for me and perhaps most importantly I like the way they sound driving my focal electras.
I keep my eye out for a bargain and have tried other amplification on 3 other occasions all 3 much more expensive than the Creeks thinking it would be a significant "upgrade" however found them all falling if not short certainly no better than I liked the Creeks.
With this in mind I have pondered buying a more recent Creek amp but that's at least a £600 lower end or £1500 higher end upgrade. So... Has anyone got any experience of older and newer Creek amps? and would they be kind enough to elaborate on if it's worth spending the dosh?
The negative side of me says "your happy with your amps John and they cost sod all just leave it" but the itchy side of upgradeitus is so compelling.
Or maybe just buy another vintage Creek and use 1 for each speaker?
