I am using an ARC VT-100 on my Mani-2s with excellent results. I also use a Pass Aleph 5 on them with equally good results as the amps are similar in their character. No sub needed in either case.
Totem Mani-2 and tubes
I was wondering if anybody has any experience using the Mani-II with a tube amplifier. I'm currently powering them with a Bryston 4bst and am also using a Cary slp98. The amps I'm thinking of trying are the VAC pa 100/100, rogue m-120, cary v12, or mesa baron. These are the amps that are in my price range on the used/demo market. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
