Totem speakers are very, very difficult to drive. I have one pair of Model 1 and two pairs of Rainmakers so I am somewhat familiar with Totem speakers.
To extract the most out of your Totem, your integrated amp needs to put out somewhere at least clean 80 watts to 150 watts per channel. Whether you want tube or solid state is a matter of (a) budget (b) personal preference and (c) WAF factor if this applies...
The Arros have been very popular with many Totem followers for two things, tight bass and WAF factor (deco purposes). I have also heard that the Arros can be placed very closed to the walls which is a big advantage where space is at a premium.
I never had Jolida and Anthem. I have listened to my Model 1 with Rogue and the sound is okay. CJ can be better. Totem usually drives their speakers with Plinius or Sim Audio integrateds at the CES trade shows in North America.
Or you can call Nico at Totem to ask him what brands would do the Arro justice.
