Dbarger, Just wondering if yours was the 2010 "S" version? I'm looking at either Creek or Exposure integrated for second system and am finding it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to opinions. My main gear is Atma-Sphere MP-1 & MA-1's so like you, I have a good point of reference. I hate dry sterile sound.
Camparing Creek Destinty to Exposure 2010S Wow
I am comparing the Exposure 2010S ($800 used) to the Creek Destiny ($1600 used). I am finding that the Exposure sounds more live and real and very dynamic . The Creek sounds great also but seems to be more mechanical and in the passive mode the attack seems to be slightly rounded off. Almost flat for lack of a better term . In active it seems slightly better but the stage seems smaller and more congested. Source is a Sony XA777ES playing rock and blues through Cardas Neutral refeence ICs and AP Oval 9 speaker cable. I noticed it through headphones also when using the jacks on the Creek and the Sony. No jack on the Exposure. Is this possible, or am I gouing deaf?? Has anyone had any experiences comparing these two?? Thanks
