a 45 watt amp wouldn't do justice to the totem arros let alone the winds. i have the smaller totem mani 2's and they need 200+ watts plus 'powerful' amp. if you like your tube amp, biamp the speakers using your tube amp for the top end and a solid state 200+ watt amp for the bottom. the winds are not shy in the bass department if driven properly.
Totem Winds are Too Bright
I'm trying to figure out why my Winds are always too bright. I'm not getting the bass balance I want, which in this case would be more bass. Could it be that having a copper connector to connect the biwire posts on the speakers could cause this (not seperate bi-wired cabled)? Could it be that powering with a 45 watt/channel tube amp might not be giving enough power to adequatly run the full sound stage?
Your thoughts please.
