Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes???


I am considering upgrading my Totem Arros to the Forrest, and am wondering if my PrimaLuna Prologue Two will yield acceptable results until I move to tube monoblocks? Would I be better with the Hawks? I would have them set up in a 8'7" x 11'0" alcove off a 435sf room. Any thoughts from Totem owners powering their Totems with tubes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I agree with Mimberman. I heard the Forest's next to the arrows, and although the arrows are good the Totems have a much more full bodied sound.
Thanks for the responses. I've contacted Totem for their recommendations as well.
This may help a little - you did ask for feedback from any of us tube + Totem users...

I'm running my Hawks with a 100wpc Audio Research VS110 and the sound is amazingly effortless. At 86db/6ohms for the Hawk vs 87db/8ohms for the Forest, one would think they offer very similar loads to the amplifier.

Don't discount the Hawk, as they are an absolutely excellent speaker with great speed and finesse due to the smaller driver. I (now) run mine without a sub and get a huge amount of bass from them.
I am going to give both the Hawk and the Forrest a listen next week. It's been awhile since I've heard either.
Jh2os,
I am interested in buying the Prologue Two to drive my Totem Forests (using a very cheap Jolida for the moment).
Did you listen the Forests with your Prologue Two? What did you find out?

Thanks,
Al
