Opinions on the following Integrateds

For rock and blues, I'd pick the Musical Fidelity.

I've heard the Creek on one system, and thought it sounded a bit dry. That was just one system though. A couple others I'd add to the mix: the Portal Panache (outstanding, uncolored) and the YBA Integre DT (such clarity and resolution!). Enjoy the search and tell us what you end up with!

I have a question? I had the Complete Integrated in my system some years ago and also owned the Complete CD player for a short while. How does the Complete Integrated or the new Integrated designed by YBA which replaced the Complete compare to the YBA Integra DT?

Thanks guys, No love for NAD. Right now I like the NAD 3400 Monitor seies IA over the Rotel 990 power and 995 pre I am using. Better in the voices and bigger stage but had to replace the jumpers on the NAD with cardas neutral reference. Really changed the resolution and focus.. Now it sounds more like the Rotels resolution. I thought the MF also but there is no headphone jack and I do not want to buy an amp. Also I would like to be able to control the volume of the headphones with the remote and there is no way to shut off the speakers on the MF. What about the Shandeling a300 or is it A3000??

Get a used YBA.

I use the NAD BEE in my gym with Silverline Preludes jammed into the corners of the room. Given the unfortunate placement limitations, the combo sounds pretty decent and goes louder than I can stand (and on a treadmill - I REQUIRE crushing SPLs to help forget where I am).

Why not a NAD 3020a
(not the series twenty ones) more musical than the new stuff. cheap too. Ive had the new nads,sold them,kept the 3020a.
Most of those amps are uninvolving, and after not too long will bore you to death.
IMO.
