I would say the 9200 is a better purchase. Yes, it costs more, but think resale holds up better because it has a good phono stage, which makes it attractive to a broader group of buyers. It also has more power, which means you could keep it down the road if you change to less efficient speakers. I had the 9200 for a little and really liked it. I have owned the Totem Forests, and have listened to the Hawks. I think this is a good combination and you will be very happy. Others I would suggest is Sim i-5LE, YBA Passion Integre, or Pathos Classic/Logos.
Plinius 9100 or 9200 for totem hawks
Looking at these to amps for hawks. Asked Totem but of course they would not comment on any amp. My room size is small
12X10 dedicated listening room upstairs. Pretty new at this
so would appreciate any help. Wanted to stay with one of these two solid states. Listen to mostly Jazz and some rock.
