Integrate for Totem Sky

Take a look at Unison Research hybrid integrateds that have tube pre section but SS amp.  Best of luck. 

Here is what TOTEM frequently uses at the audio expos,
Ayre
Plinius
ESPECIALLY SIMAUDIO ( .. both in Montreal and mutually voiced to each other’s products_)

common denominators: Lotsa “grunt” (that means a high-current with lotsa amps. . NOT wpc) cuz Totems are highlighted in a tsunami of posts as being power hungry types.

Here is your Holy Grail .... TOTEM AMBER integrated amp. This was a JV between SIMAUDIO and TOTEM wherein TOTEM had a custom designed unit built for them by SIMAUDIO based on the SIMAUDIO platform.

I think, however, that the Totem Sky came out several years after the Amber was retired.  The Sky is also a departure from the approach to Totem's previous generation of speakers, like The One, Arro, Hawk, Forest and Rainmaker.

It may be wonderful with the Sky, but I don't think it's a sure thing.  I had the Sky, and ended up selling it.  It never knocked my socks off but it could have been my stable of mid fi amps.

Thanks for the feedback, the dealer asked me to check the Arcam and Devialet(Obviously the dealer carries this 2 brands).Currently using Jadis Orchestra and happy with the sound signature, being said that;carving for extra bass from this little boxes, not sure whether they are capable to deliver that extra bass with SS integrates?

I can say that I had the Skys connected to a 200 wpc Adcom amp. I played a variety of music and turned it up to the point where the drivers were really demonstrating their long throw abilities.  And they can put out some pretty decent bass for the size, something that I’ve experienced with several of Totem’s speakers.  They make a terrific cabinet and the Dreamcatcher, Rainmaker, Sky and Arro all have more bass than their driver size would normally dictate.

It was no problem for the Sky’s, though I didn’t overdrive them. The Sky power rating is 125 wpc, but they also have a 3” voice coil, so they can handle higher power within reason.

Yes, with better quality amps Sky shine, may be amplifier limitations the voice seemed to closed, but for their size the bass is quite remarkable.
