Totem's with mid-power amplification?


Which Totem speakers (if any) do well with mid-power amplification? Specifically, I'm thinking of a Portal Panache integrated that puts out 100=>8ohms and 200=>4ohms. It's a great integrated, but I know the Totems like power. Any thoughts on compatibility? I like the Forests, the Model 1sig's, and the Mani2's - but haven't heard the other designs.

Also, are there any other similarly priced integrateds (i.e. $1000 used) that mate well with Totems?

Thanks, Peter

i would try the hawks and possibly the forests. i would demo the speakers hooked up in your room using your equipment to see if you like them. i have had a pair of arros teamed up with amps as low as 30 watts (tube amp) in my den with good succes. if you were going to use a sub (like a rel or totem), the arros or the rainmakers would be a god choice also.
