Totem Arros and 40 watts.


Hey anyone try to pair Totem Arros w/ a 40-45 watt tube amp...like a Primaluna Prologue 2 or Cayin TA30.... something like that? Smallish room 15'x 15-20', enough power?

thanks in advance

i used a jolida 1301 hybrid integrated amp with the arros for a while and the combination worked well in my old 12 x 13 den. the prima luna would also be a good fit. i am using the jolida 1301 now to power a pair of totem taw 6.5 inwalls with a subwoofer in my new den. you would need a couple of good subs with the arros in a larger room.
i'm not saying that the arros would not benefit with more power, they will. but they can be driven with a small integrated with good results. i have owned many pairs of totem (model 1's, arros, inwalls) and now multiple pairs of mani 2's, and i have to say that the arros are probably the easiest totem speaker to drive. the model 1's and the mani's need the best amps with large amounts of power to do them justice. i have heard the prima luna integrated drive a pair of arros with very nice results also.
