matching the Arros

rogue audio Cronus or stereo 90 and 99 preamp
awesome!

I have listened to the Arros with Musical Fidelity, Naim and Rega integrated amp and CD combinations, and thought the amps sounded best top to bottom in the order listed. For some reason, in a medium sized room the MF A5 and A3.5 sounded fantastic with the Arros. Since your room is fairly small, you could probably get away with the 50 watt Nait 5i or the MF X-T100 amp, either of which should be capable of driving the Arros and you to complete satisfaction.

Also, since the Rogue and Jolidas seem to work well, I wonder how the Primaluna Prologue II would sound with the Arros? I like this amp in combination with other speakers, but have not heard it with any Totems.

thanks for all the responses. Do you think most dealers would let me bring my speakers in to audition with their amps?

Plinius 9100 would be a good match for the Arros. You could also look into some of the older Plinius models like the 8100...

I think many dealers would be OK with that, especially if you did it on a weekday when things were slow.

You would be better off to try the amp in your listening room with your other gear. Also easier and safer to transport one metal amp than 2 wooden speakers, even light ones like the Arros.

Dealer worth their salt would buy into either scenario.
