I had the Fire V2s and now I have the Metal V2s. I have a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp and I have tube separates. The Rowland amp is class d and into 4 ohms it’s 800 watts per side. My tubes amps use 2 X 6550 tubes and are about 46 watts per side.
Both amps sound great with the Totems but have completely different presentations. If you don’t want tubes you should look into Jeff Rowland.
which power amp or integrated for Totem Element Fire v2's?
trying to find a match for these speakers and something tells me I'm not there yet
so in the price range of the pieces mentioned below;
Hegel H390 and Parasound JC5 did not seem to match, neither did Sim Audio 400m monos nor Bryston 4B3
this is for 2 channel stereo streaming via tidal,
I can go integrated or power amp (preferably without a preamp)
if going power amp only, I would use my RME ADI-2 DAC FS directo to amp from a Bluesound Node X
or my Eversolo DMP A8 direct to power amp
my only general preference is for for higher power amps as I find them a bit more versatile if/when switching speakers but open to anything at the moment
appreciate any suggestions
