Past and Present Totem Arro Owners: Favorite Integrated?


I’m about to take delivery of some 2005 Totem Arros, and I’m looking for suggestions for a great integrated from people who have/had Arro speakers. Amps I am considering include:

Ayre
Blue Circle FtTH
Naim - who knows which one...?
Unison Unico

Looking for used under $2,000, and phono would be nice to keep it in one box...

Thanks!

Hi,
me not listening arrow but have their big wind ,
use them with Krell Kav400 and pass INT150.
for under 2k you can easily find the Krell.
in my opinion with wind ,it need big power to sound best.


All very helpful, thank you! I have Kimber 4TC and 8TC in the house, but I'll consider the Chords.
I ran the ARROS in my "B" system with an ARCAM A32 integrated amp that superseded a NAD C370 integrated amp.

My take:

(1) The ARCAM smoked the NAD

(2) I would pay pay more attention to the quality build and performance of the source . Any of SIMAUDIO , AYRE, PLINIUS, ARCAM, or NAIM integrated amps will do nicely (I have heard the ARROs with all of ’em....) with no identifiable winner; but if you chintz on the source, ......’nuff said.

(3) I recommend that you consider the TOTEM TRESS or CHORD ODYSSEY or RUMOUR speaker cables (both are silver plated copper twist cables ...the TOTEMs are CHORD clones ) . I auditioned a plethora of contenders and pretenders and agreed that TOTEM’s recommendation is valid. Bi-wiring offered no perceptible improvements.
Used Plinius with Model One and Mani.  But listened using Arro's numerous times.  I think you'll be very happy.  As a matter of fact I'm thinking about the combo right now for a bedroom system.
Plinius is a very nice match for the Totems.  Not sure if you can find the 9200 for under $2k but the 8200 runs a close second.  Both have phono and occasionally come up on A'gon.
