I just gave an audition to the Plinius 8200 and the Totem Hawks. Work quite well together though on female voices I found a little harsh edge. The bass was amazingly deep and focused considering the size of the Hawks. I thought there was a side firing woofer but there was none. I really don't think you need a sub but just my opinion. You may want to check out the Ayre integrated amp which is the direction I am going. It is at the same price point as the Plinius and I just have not heard anything better in solid state for the price.
Totem Hawk, Plinius 9200, Rotel rdv-1060 a match?
Id like some advice on this system that Im about to put together.
Plinius 9200 200 wt/ch integrated amp
Totem Hawk speakers
Hsu Research vtf-2 subwoofer
Rotel rdv-1060 dvd/cd player
Richard Gray Power Company conditioner
Transparent interconnects and cables
$7900.00 total
I thought about the Totem Forest but was advised that the Hawk, although smaller, produced plenty of soundstage and lots of bass for its size. Any thoughts or criticism? Thanks for the advice
