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 would recommend at least 150 or more watts with a very good amplifier (not 150 watts from a yamaha or sony receiver). i used more with excellent results.

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.
