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

What have you tried to date and found lacking? Is there anything in particular that makes you think you have not found the right amplifier?

 

Curious as to what you found lacking in the Simaudio 400M/Totem combo?  Running 390pre/330A into Totem Forest and it works well.

I am running my Totems with a PrimaLuna integrated. This works very well. It is pretty detailed, but still natural sounding. I love totems in small spaces… but definitely with tubes to get the most music out of them.
