Which receiver for Totem Hawks and rainmaker ?

If you can afford it get the Forests because the other two have totally different drives I have had both and they do not have the sound of the forests

You're thinking of changing from Parasound seperates to a reciever,I don't follow your logic,even if you are downsizing speakers.I'm not in any way criticizing this move,just wondering why.

If your budget is $3000 for a receiver, I would have to suggest Magnum Dynalab MD 208 or Krell KAV 300R.

also, i think you are moving up to the totems not down (unless you have the 9's or 20's), everything else IMO this is a move up. i would keep the separates for the totems. i had a $3000 receiver with 140 watts and trying to drive my totems (model 1's, arros,and mani's) sounded like crap. my mono blocks with the same power was a huge improvement in sound. Receivers don't have the power (i'm not talking watts here) to drive the totems.the forest are easier to drive.
