Good Amp with totem model 1s?

I am starting a system with some model 1's but I cannot seem to find an amp that I like that is in my price range. I am willing to spend around $1200 if i have to but i rather it around 1000. I do not know alot about tubes but i am open to them, if it has enough to push the totems.

i have used the mcintosh mc201, dk design, and classe ca-200 with my totem model 1's and with my mani 2's. i currently use the classe equipment with my mani's. i had the odyssey mono blocks with the model 1's for quite some time but i liked the 3 above better, more of a warmer sound compared to a more cool sound of the odyssey's.

McCormack DNA-125 or the older DNA-1. Both have plenty of power and right in your price range at around $900-1000 used. If you have more money later, Steve McCormack does very highly regarded upgrades for all his amps.

Avrij, i have been looking at the primaluna amps but i have been warned that 40 watts is not enough for these speakers(prologue 2), what are your opinion on this issue?
