best amp / amps to drive totem mani-2's

I am looking for the best way to drive these speakers. I would like to go with a beefy integrated to keep the cost down -or- should I go with 2 amps and bi-wire them. Who has these speakers and what are you driving them with - and are you happy with your choice?

I have not heard the combo but would imagine the new TRL ST 225 integrated would be a nice match...this is a wonderful amp and value.

I use the CaryAudio Cinema 5 (200wpc x 5) and I love it. I like it so much that I have appeared to have lost my upgraditis! I also use it to drive my Model 1 sigs and centre.

Good luck!

I concurr with Conrad Johnson as amplification to drive Totems. This is a highly synergetic match.

old deries of CLASSE AUDIO like a DR-25 or A DR-15 is an heaven match for cheap, you could go for more sophisticated sound going with a CONRAD JOHNSON EVOLUTION 2000 (Hybrid amp of 200 WPC)
