I hate to rain on your parade - but I would say neither. I had a CAP-151 that really made my Vienna Acoustic Mozart speakers sing. I then upgraded to Totem Acoustic Wind speakers. The local dealer warned me that the Classe integrated would probably not have enough power. He was right. Granted, the Model 1 is not the Wind - but Totems love lots of power. I would probably call Totem and ask them. Both Totem and Classe are located in Montreal and I have to believe (given the proximity) that they are familiar with each others products.
Simaudio Vs. Classe for Totem model 1s
I have been spending a few months deciding what amp to put with my model ones. I have narrowed it down to either classe separates (Ca-150), a classe Cap-151, or a Simaudio intergrade around $1800. Of course the Cap 151 is the cheapeast aternitived and has enough power to make the Totems happy, but if i go with simaudio, I will be getting less wattage. My question is, do you think that in THIS case, the totems would prefer more wattage over simaudio?
