Hi. due to one of the channels on my marantz amp giving up the ghost I am in the market for a replacment.

Not sure what to do really as there are some very good internet deals out there, but obviuosly there is the disadvantage of not being able to test them out before buying.

Am thinking about a Creek Evolution amp which you can pick up for around £400, but could stretch to another £100 or so.

The main question is pairing any new amp to an Arcam cd73 cd player. I am planning on upgrading my Kef Q4 speakers at some point, so am not worried about these in the equation.

Any help would greatly appreciated!!
