Which amp to drive Totem Signiture ones?

TWL and Ultrakaz are right on the money, especially with regards to the bryston amp with your totems. I tried a bryston amp on my Mani 2's and I got simular results. Althogh it could play loud, I got a very thin and bright presentation which came no where near to what the totems can offer.

i use an old bryston 4b with my totem tabu with great result
and did some experimentations with a lot of expensive cables
and never had the weight on the bass i was looking for ,
so i changed my totem for some apogee caliper and then the
experimentation is over.i finnaly found the sound i was looking for.so now there is a pair of totem tabu for sale
good luck

The mc2102 from mcintosh will drive them, a 100w/channel tube amp at 2 4 and 8 ohms. They'll make b&w 801's dance and these are very power hungry speakers as well. A bit pricey at 4000 used though.

VTL MB125 or MB100. I use VTL MB100 for my Forests with great success. I doubt that SS amp will be a good mate to Kora Eclipse you should check with manufacturer or simply lookup for high input impedance >30kOhms SS amps. That will bring you definitely under $2k.

Thanks all for some excellent tought. I feel privledged to get Twl's math insight. I am now focused on a 200+/- ss amp. I am concerned as Marakanetz about mating an ss with the Kora. I am a tube dude in my study system, but can't pursue it at the big scale in the living room. I also need to keep the sig's, as my wife would castrate me if i brought in new speakers down there (I am about to bring in some new Meadowlarks upstairs). I can always swap an amp and confuse her.."Oh yea, thats been there awhile.." So now I am thinking maybe a Gamut D200. It is at a lower price point than Krell, and is supposed to have a bit of tube liquidity. Damn, how can those little bastards need so much juice!
