I would drop Vince Bruzzese a line and ask him what he recommends.
I think the i-3 may handle the Hawks, but not much more.

Recommend amp to drive Totem Winds?
I'm looking for recommendations for an amplifier (solid-state, integrated) that would be a good fit to a pair of Totem Wind speakers. I've heard that the Winds can be hard to drive, so I'm a bit concerned about what amps will/won't be up to the task.
The Winds are rated at 4 ohms impedence, 87 dB sensitivity, and 250 W maximum power. In general, is it OK to look for an amp that will produce slightly less than 250 W into 4 ohms? Or should I look for an amp that provides 250 W, or more than 250 W, into 4 ohms?
Brands/models I've looked at include:
Simaudio Moon i-3
Simaudio Moon i-7
Krell KAV 400xi
I'm certainly more than willing to consider others, of course.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/opinions....
Cheers,
Barb
