Up a creek without a paddle

Does anyone have any experience of Creek amps? I'm thinking along the lines of a comparison with the Naim sound for a friend. I know they used to use DINS at one point.

I had experience with an early Creek from the 80s, & Stereophile was very keen on the latest model. There's a review at the Stereophile website, The latest top of the line Creek is in the same market segment as the Nait in the UK.

I had a little Creek integrated some years ago, I think maybe it was a 5050 model. 50-50 would describe its performance compared with the Nait I that replaced it; it was really about half the amp of the Nait in every respect except raw power. Maybe newer Creeks are better, but I remember that thing being harsh sounding.

Unless the new ones are considerably better, I wouldn't bother with these myself given that a second hand Nait can be had cheaply and can be fully serviced by Naim.
