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-

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!

Don't be afraid of 'class D' - and based on your parameters it sounds like a good integrated from Bel Canto or Rowland like the Concerto or Continuum 250 would be a good combination, and of course there are others out there like NuForce, Cary, etc. High power, dynamic, efficient in both energy consumption and physical space, can drive just about anything.

I have had a great experience with Unico SE with Totem Forest. Used price of unico is very good.

Have heard Krell with Totem. Pretty synergistic!
