Totem Arros - Tube Amps ?


Hi,

I am trying to help my frend with a 2 channel set-up for a medium room ( 15 x 12 x 8 ). We are considering Totem Arros. Which of the following amps will be a good fit:

1. Cary SLI-80
2. Primalune Prologue 2
3. VTL IT-85

I know that cary is a more expensive one....but we wan to consider the amp that best integarates with Arros. Musical preference is Vocals, Instruments and Jazz with occasional pop.

Thanks

I have a similar question -- I just bought a pair of Totem Arros and am planning to match them with my C-J PV-10B preamp and a power amp to be determined. If I were to do this, what would you suggest for a power amp? More tubes or solid state? Anything specific? I'm looking within the C-J family at the moment because I know they generally pair well, but am open to any suggestions.

The room is pretty decent size, about 15x20x10, but columns and furniture divide it in two -- the speakers will be in the larger area, about 15x12x10, and close to the rear wall. I'm going for a pretty versatile system, both analog and ditigal, playing a wide range of music. I'm not a tube fanatic, so wouldn't mind throwing in a SS power amp.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or experiences.

Thanks,

Eric
