Rumadian, yes it's been a long time but this thread is just too valuable to be left behind :-)
Sorry that I should've been more specific. I plan to drive the Mani-2 with a pure Class A Accuphase power amplifier 50 watts @ 8ohms and 80 watts @ 4ohms (I think Mani-2's are 4 ohms) and just to give other members an idea.
This Amplifier currently drives my Forest and for some reason I feel it is more powerful than the Bel Canto Ref1000 mono blocks. My floor shakes at regular listening level at 9 o'clock but at the same time I do not feel it's loud or noisy.
I'm not sure how to describe my listening room but it's basically a Living room/Great room in a typical house that I would think it's medium size.
I mainly listen to Classical and Jazz musics and so I'd think I don't play the music in an extremely loud volume.
Thanks again for your help Rumadian. You have a bag of knowledge in the Totem line and yes I am looking for an upgrade up the totem pole two years after enjoying the Forest.
