Request opinions on Totem speaker / McIntosh amplifier compatibility.

Thank you for your response. Your reference to the diminished highs on the Totem speakers with the McIntosh are spot on. Joseph

I am a big fan of Totem speakers and have some in my office.

If you think the McIntosh is a great match is really personal taste. Mcintosh lacks detail to me... it is just too bass and midrange heavy. I would thing with totem speakers... already natural sounding and fairly punchy this would result in a really problematic high frequency response. But it is a matter of taste.

I power mine with tubes... but then all my systems are tube powered, Audio Research and Primaluna, I can certainly recommend these for a musical and detailed sound.
