Does anybody have Totem Arro's and CJ tubes?

I heard the Arro's at the Hi Fi show and loved them. (I want a floor stander & they fit my budget.)

I am looking to purchase a pair to go with my Conrad Johnson MV-55 45 watt tube amp (NOS tubes - RCA, Mullard, & Svetlanas)& passive preamp.

I listen to Classical & Jazz at 75 db max. Room is 11.5 x 20 x 8.

Dealer is cautioning that my amp won't work well. My feeling is that it should. Does anybody have any experience that would help?

Thanks.

You hit it right.
He was trying to get me to go for a pair of Hawks. But they are really out of my budget and I like the fact that the Arro's can be placed very close to the rear wall.
Thanks for your valuable response!

Thanks for the responses so far.

Dmoffitt: Why did you choose the single wire Tress over Totem's bi-wire cables? I now have Audioquest Type 4+ single wire and wonder how these compare.
Thanks.

I just revisited my thread and noticed the recent activity.

I love my Arro's and the CJ.
I want the soundstage to be very wide so I called Vince (the Owner of Totem) and he spent a lot of time with me on the phone. He gave me several ideas to try.
Interestingly he told me to move the Arroi's together, to within 4 - 5 feet of each other! This really made things smoother, more dynamic, and opened the soundstage a bit more. Will report back after I implement more of his ideas....

Zorathustra:
Call Totem directly at 514-259-1062. They are really helpful. Vince seems to have opinions about a lot of different equipment that is used with the Arro's.
