This would be a perfect match. This amp is highly recomended with Merlin speakers for it's flat response. The Totems could use the extra power also.

I use with Forests VTL MB100 and feel that it's sufficient enough. They're not so tough to drive since they don't have large impedance falls. I've heard them driven by Pathos TwinTowers 35W/ch successfull as well.
