Plinius 9100 or Simaudio Moon i5 for Totem Hawks?

Go with Plinius.
Sim is too agressive for Hawks.

Thanks, Catahula_bill and Marakanetz, for the quick response.

I've owned the Plinus 8200mkII powering a pair of Totem Tabu's. Never really did it for me.

I've owned the i-5 with both Forests and Hawks. I am currently running a Krell 400xi on the Hawks and would highly recommend it! The i-5 ran out of juice on the Forests. The 400xi sounds awesome with either the Hawks/Forest and even has the power to drive the Winds as well - which I am bringing home next week! ;)

Not to add an amp to your decision making, but you may want to give it a listen. I was never a Krell fan (in fact, i kind of steered clear of Krell) until I heard the 400xi!

Thanks, Jh2os. I live in an apartment and cannot crank up the volume, which is why I chose the Hawks over the Forests, but I agree with you that i-5 wouldn't be sufficient with the Forest. Take care.

Imho the plinius is not even close to the sim or to the krell. I have always been mystified about the adoration of the plinius, but I have had very good success with both krell and sim with arro's, mani 2 and staffs.
