Hi,

Sorry for posting this question in this thread...I know Totem demos its Forests / Hawks with Plinius 9200..Also I heard that Arros are 4 Ohm speakers and have a reputation of really shining with high quaity electronics and good clean power. Does it mean Plinius 9200 (SS Integ with 200 watts/ch) will be a better match to Arros compared to these tube amps like Cary SLI-80, VTL IT-85, CJ CAV 50, Primaluna Prologue 2 and Jadis Orchestra Reference ? Please keep in mind that the type of music my friend likes is Jazz, Vocals, Instruments and occasional pop

Thanks

All,

What subwoofers do you use with Totem Arros ?

I am assuming CJ CAV 50 has a subwoofer out. Can you please confirm ? Also with just 45 watts, can CJ CAV 50 drive Arros to room filling sound in a 20 x 20 x 8 room if it is paired up with a good matching subwoofer ?

Thanks
Grakesh

Sufentanil,

What other Amps did you try with Arros in-addition to Jolida 302b ?

Thanks

Hi,

I just realised that CJ CAV 50 does not come with a Remote. I usually prefer to have a remote with minimalistic functions namely vol control and mute.

Also, can any Arro owners let me know what subwoofers they use with Totem Arros in their 2 channel set-up ?

Thanks

Hi,

Can anyone help please ?

Bdgregory,

What are you driving your staffs with ? Are you using 2 sub woofers or just one ?

We were thinking of trying this combo:

Totem Arro
REL STORM (or) Stadium
Mostly Conrad Johnson CAV 50, if not Cary SLI 80
Rega Planet 2000

The one thing that concerns me is CJ CAV 50 lacking a remote. The other one is ...does CJ have a sub woofer out and if I want to go with two sub woofers, how can we do that ?

Thanks
Grakesh

All,

My main concern with Conrad Johnson CAV 50 is its low tube wattage of 45 watts/channel. I know that the max Arros need are 70 watts/chan. Can owners of Arros let me know whether CJ CAAV 50 with 45 watts/ch can drive the Arros properly in 20 x 20 x 8 room ?

Thanks

Bdgregory,

Sorry for asking some silly questions. What are you referring to as "High Level Inputs" and are you referring to these inputs on your REL sub-woofer ? Also, does it mean you have two pairs of outputs on your Amplifier that allows you to connect one pair of outputs to speakers and another pair of outputs to Sub-woofer ? Do you mind simplifying this and explain me in a simple terms ? Please bear with an audiophile ignorant like me.

Thanks
Grakesh

Bdgregory,

Thanks for patiently explaining the set-up process. I appreciate it.

By the way, I happened to come across a link on search that details this set-up process at a high level ...but they also express their opinion about this set-up. Thought it might be helpful to you. The link is:
