Best budget amp match with ProAc Tablettes

Hi all, recently I came across someone's system configuration using Creek's Destiny 2 amp to match with ProAc Tablette Anniversary speakers, the result is warm, smooth and highly detailed at the same time. I have the much older ProAc Tablette Ref 8 speakers, just wondering if this amp would be a good match?

At the same time, I'm also considering the Arcam CD37. Will it be a good match with Creek Destiny 2 Amp, or will the Creek Destiny 2 CD make a better combination?

I consider warmth, smoothness, lack of any brightness or exaggerations being the most important qualities in a system.

Many thanks!

Can't offer an opinion about the amp question, but I imagine the Arcam FMJ CD37 would "play well" with pretty much any partnered equipment possessed of reasonably balanced sound. I bought one as a temporary replacement while another sacd player was being repaired. To my surprise, the CD37 performed so well and so far beyond its price point I've continued using it with no urge to upgrade at all. It is a real "sleeper" on the market if you ask me. The review from techradar is spot on in my experience. As an aside, I never really got the UK obsession with "PRAT" until I heard this player. It opened my ears and mind to a new audio virtue.
