System Advice

My opinion is whatever amp you decide on, I’d at least double the watts, your Totems are on the lower side of efficiency at 88db, and I bet with more oomph your going to like them even more.

Thanks!! 

What about an Arcam A15?

I'm currently running Totem Sky Towers with Belles Aria Signature Integrated, though previously used the basic Aria Integrated, both sound great and have a surprisingly good built in phono stage...used Aria will fit your budget...

@aarongreenb ,

For a thousand bucks new, you get a lot! Sabre dac, mm phono, 80 watts, definitely a contender. I myself look for deals on higher end used, like @jl35 suggested.

Quick sidetrack to @jl35 , was the Signature worth the upgrade?

For me, the Signature absolutely worth the upgrade...
