Creek CD50 Mk11 v. Arcam CD93 v. Marantz CD17 KI?

For use with Arcam A85 amp and Monitor Silver8 speakers, for Classical music.

Which of these players do you reckon would best complement these components?

The amp, as is generally known, is a little gutsier than most Arcams, and the speakers are fairly lively.

 

didn't hear other (but generaly dislike Arcam) but heard 17ki and couldn't understand what is the fuss about it.

sounded dull, "dirty", lost details - very very colored.

for 1K my choice is MF A3.2.

s/h meridian 588 would be my best recomendation.

 

Thanks, Croc.

 

If you can bring yourself to buy NAD then the S500 (i) is pretty nice. Not much internet forum credibility, admittedly, but it looks and sounds great.
