best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music?

easy- the rega mira
it just jams and connects with rhythmic movement, dynamics and pace.

the creek is a bit underpowered tho I quite like the amp
the puccini is lacking in dynamics and punch-a snooze
the complete is a very good all rounder but not as pacey or rhythmic
the MFxa1 is static and voiced more for tonal stuff(never heard the xa2)
haven't heard the cambridge long enuf nor in a familiar context to say.sounded fine from what i heard

Dear FS Audio,
Please read the thread in Misc Audio titled "A question concerning ethics".Unchecked commercialism at this forum is a serious concern to most of AG's community.
I've heard the Mistral and think it to be a fine product, however your post can only be read as self serving commercialism.If you have some actual helpful advice based on your experience ,please share it. However when you stand to gain monetarily from outlandish, ridiculous tripe as your unrealistic claim for the LFD, you do this site, the product, the companies that supply you and yourself serious damage to credibilty, usefulness and reputation.
Thank you.
Regards,

Dear FS,
I likewise am wholey impressed with the LFD Mistral integrated as well as the rest of their range.I find them easily to be amoungst the most musically adept electronics in their respective price ranges. They are possessing of rhythmic, dynamic and expressive qualities rarely found in components of their genre or pricepoints.As much as I appreciate the little Creeks, the Mistral to my tastes,which favors timing and emotional connection, is easily the more accomplished performer.In my opinion, the LFD is one of the best kept "secrets" in the current audio market.
Anyways,what I most objected to was the absence of qualification and expansion of your statement.Had you just added the reasons for your opinion, the recommendation would be of sharing your experiences with an excellent candidate for consideration rather than commercialism.
As industry members,I feel we have an extra responsibilty in the manner in which we conduct ourselves here.I apologise that my own behavior could have been better handled as,in retrospect,my response was unnecessarily strident.
Regards,
Ken
btw- if you search the archives here and at the other fora where I entertain myself(AA vinyl,in particular), you'll find that I regularly recommend the products of my competition specifically to avoid mention of my own.
