I'm looking for amplifier for Totem Wind , but home trial is unavailable in my country. The room is about 4 x 6 m. My budget is around 10k and would likt to have liquidity treble-mid and tight-fast bass.
I just auditioned the Winds using Audio Research tube pre and amp. Can't recall the model numbers but they were one below the Reference gear. The sound was excellent.
Power makes the Wind's go around, the Wind's go around, the Wind's go around. Power makes the...well, you get the idea with or without the show tune:O) A used Krell FPB400CX or similiar amp would do it.
I have heard the Winds with older model Audio research and with the Ayre K-5XE/V5XE pre, and amp combo. Both were very nice but the Ayre (IMO) was better. Had the things you described wanting in your post.
