This is a buyer’s market at £167: the asking price sits comfortably above the £111 median but below the £236 75th percentile, making it fair rather than a bargain. It is not overpriced, though stronger examples or serviced units would justify the upper end of the range.
The 4140 S2 remains a nicely engineered, compact British amplifier with a lively, detailed presentation, useful MM/MC phono stage, headphone output, and sensible protection circuitry. Its 30–40 watts per channel can drive a broad range of speakers, while the neutral balance suits good sources. “Tested working” is encouraging, but ask specifically whether both phono modes, every input, channels, controls, and headphone output have been checked; age-related capacitors and phono-switch settings are the meaningful things to verify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Creek Audio traces its origins to 1982, when founder Michael Creek launched the brand from a modest setup in his London home and garage. Guided by a philosophy of delivering high-quality hi-fi at accessible prices, the company debuted with the CAS4040 integrated amplifier and soon followed with the matching CAS3040 tuner, both priced at £99. Rapid demand prompted a move to larger facilities, fueling expansion through the 1980s and into the 1990s, when Creek bought back the brand rights in 1993 with international partners, reestablishing operations in north London.
The brand specializes in amplifiers, remaining true to its roots with integrated models like the iconic 4330 SE, while expanding into tuners, DACs, and select digital sources. Creek's designs, crafted by Mike Creek and his engineering team using advanced CAD and testing, emphasize compact, reliable electronics over flashy aesthetics, with wooden accents nodding to vintage trends.
Positioned as a mid-tier British staple, Creek Audio enjoys a loyal following among discerning buyers seeking unpretentious performance without high-end premiums. Its reputation for value-driven amplification has sustained it for over four decades, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts who prioritize musicality and longevity in a crowded market.
