High Quality Integrated to power Mani-2


I am in the market for a high quality integrated (new) to power my brand new pair of Totem Acoustic Mani-2 Signatures. I want to keep the price under $3500, phono stage is not necessary but would be a bonus. Must provide over 350 watts per channel @ 4 ohms and still be able to handle the low ohm swings of the mani-2 (down to 1 ohm). The ones I have found so far that meet my criteria are

Plinius 9200
Musical Fidelity A5
Krell KAV-400xi

The Sim I-7 is scheduled to ship this month but, my local dealers doesn't think they are going to make the date. The Andromeda is there new reference CDP, @ 10,000. It sounds better than any CDP I have ever heard. The specs for the I-7 can be found here: http://www.simaudio.com/pr_i-7.htm. It is 150 wpc into 8 ohms but, doesn't show the specs in lower ohms. If it is like the I-5, 70 wpc and high current, it should sound much stronger than the 150 wpc.

I have only heard Totems with Pathos electronics and thought the combo was very good.

PS Audio has some integrateds that migh fit your need. GCC250 I think is the model.

Good Luck,
