I had a Creek EVO50 amp briefly last year, but returned it after a month. I've had my Epos speakers for over 5 years now and had various amps driving them in that period, including an earlier Creek model (5350). The Creek EVO50 It is a lovely amp in most respects, build, looks, functionality etc. but ultimately I found it quite dull and lifeless. At the time I also had a pair of 40W NVA mono amps, and when I plugged them in directly after listening to the Creek, the difference was considerable. For pure sound there was a world of difference between the NVA and Creek, the NVA winning hands down. Of course with NVA power amps there are other factors to consider, such as an additional pre-amp, no remote control, no headphone socket, the need for NVA cables etc., hence the reason I no longer have NVA and have the lovely Marantz PM8005 doing a sterling job.
