Hi, looking for some views on the above
seen a few posts on here about arcam and creek working well with quad speakers, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with either with quad speakers
any suggestions or advice appreciated
The Creek Evo is very impressive amp. I've not heard the Quad speakers for years, much less with Creek or Arcam, however, Quad do exhibit similar sonic qualities to MA. I would suggest, therefore, a demo - home or shop - and discover for yourself which amp really rings the bell with the Quads.
Creek and Arcam DIVA are both neutral amps, so if one sounds good then the other should be the same. It's a matter of design and the subtle traits each amp has. The Arcs to avoid, like dan said, is the A80, A75 and A90. The A65+ tonally, and detail-wise would be the ideal amp, however, at 40 watts, not sure whether it'll have enough punch to drive the fairly demanding Quads.
