What to pair with a Creek integrated?
Hey all, I just picked up a nice sounding Creek 4140 s2 Integrated Amp.
I was wondering what type of speakers would work best with this little guy. I have some Rotel seperates and a Marantz 2275 and lots of assorted mid-fi stuff and surround amps, but nothing like a Creek.
The options I have for the Creek are...
Canton Ergo 80
Paradigm Mini Monitors
Vandersteen 1b
Canton CT2000 (big old 3-way 4ohm bad boys)
Infinity Overture 1 (built in powered subs)
I listen to a pretty wide range of stuff. Lots of rock, punk and funk, but also Jazz and blues and bluegrass. I play 90% CDs.
What are the factors I should be considering?
I'd love to know what some superior audio minds think. It's a pretty cool little amp. I'd like to see if I can really find a fit. Should I be looking at smaller bookshelves or can it handle the bigger stuff?
