Looking for an SS Integrated for Totem Mani-2's

I am picking up a pair of Mani-2's in the next couple of weeks from a friend of mine. I understand they like lots of power. Can you point me in the right direction to drive these 85db speakers with ease. my room is 12' x 24'. I'm on a budget of $1500 - $2500, so let's not get too out there in your suggestions. I also would like something that does not take up a lot of space. thanks-

I've seen a lot of this lately and tend to agree that it seems inappropriate. Why not send a personal message to the OP with an offer rather than cluttering the forums?

I would suggest a used Plinius 9200. I own one and think it is a great integrated. I use to have the Aerial model 8 speakers and the Plinius drove them with ease. Those speakers were rated at 86db. The Plinius is a very netural sounding amp, great bass, sweet highs, great midrange and a very nice phono stage. I have read that Plinius and Totems speakers is a nice combo. Good luck with your search.

The Hi Vi woofers that Totem forest use are rated at 85, but in real world are really closer to 84, i've built with them a few times, some run lower. Plus they are rated at 8 ohms, but tend to drift up to 9 or even 10 ohms.... Just get all the power that you can find that suits your taste.

I think that plinius 9100 as well will do the job, I have the Nola Boxer monitors and my experience its super, amazing amps those plinius, rarely people sell them, i was considering in selling mine because i going to graduate school but i am not quite sure i will do that i am so adjusted to the sound!
