Totem Dreamcatchers integrated amp, under $1000.

I'm in the market for an integrated amp for a pair of Totem DC's for under $1000. Has anyone had any experience with the Rotel RA-12 and DC's?, also considering NAD and the Rega BrioR. Problem with the Rega is that it'll put my over budget a bit by the time I get a DAC.

Naim goes very with with Totem. I have heard the Naim Nait 5i-2 with Arro and Sffaf and really liked it. Should go with the DC also. Just checked, one on sale for just over $1K.

NAD could also be good. No experience with the Rega. IHMO, the Rotel can be a little forward and harsh, which may not mix as well with the DC.

could go with an older non-remote Brio model...this pop up now and then...creek, Nad, etc would also work...

You may be able to find a nice Arcam integrated amp within your budget. I've heard wonderful music with original Totem Model One's driven by an Arcam integrated. Have fun.

I agree with the statement that Rotel can be forward and harsh.
