Solid state amp for Totem Model 1`s


Howdy folks
just wondering what kind of solid state amps people are using with their Model 1`s...I`m currently running tubes (modified Cary SLM 70`s)...wanted to try something different. Besides, they`re too damn hot in the summer (no air conditioning). Was considering McCormack, Edge, Sim, Pass (Aleph series?) but am open to any suggestion.
Am using a Modwright SWL-9.0 with the tubed power supply as a pre....my room is smallish, and I can`t crank it, but feel I need something that controls the bass better, and has the current to push these speakers - the dynamics are restricted.
thanks!

The NAD C375BEE with MIT AVT 1 cabling for preamp out/main in connection....I use Totems as well. Warm, dynamic and palpable with great presence.
The Emotiva line seems impressive...let us know your take on the Forest/XPA 2 combo"O) Also, I'd like to mention that moving up the "speaker tree" does not always mean a better or more meaningful listening experience. I owned the $20K plus speaker systems and although they may have "more" of some aspects of music reproduction going for them, they did not move me as much as the Totem products I've owned.
