What would be the best int. amp for Totem Model 1?

Plinius 8200 and used Plinius 9200 are my personal 'best with' picks, also used Krell KAV300i and used Krell KAV400i can do an excellent job... Wyred4Sound STI500 is modern way you may want to try.

Rogue Cronus magnum.

Naim NAIT XS and SimAudio Moon 250I ..... Both would drive the Totems really nicely without breaking the bank. Gppd Luck and Happy Listening.

I had Totem Model Ones when they were first introduced. I ran them with a 100 watt Krell and they were not over powered. The Model Ones need a lot of power to sound their best.

Pretty much agree with the above posts/recommendations. The Model 1's (like most other small speakers) are inefficient and tend to do their best when on a high current diet.

Tonally speaking, I found that the Model 1's bode well with warm sounding gear. Plinius. Naim. Sim Audio's entry to mid level gear. Unison Research. Audio Analogue. Monarchy Audio. Luxman. Accuphase. Blue Circle Audio. Rogue. Stuff like that should work well with those little monitors.
