Pass labs with totems


Has anyone heard this combo? I have heard that they are great with mani 2s but have not heard if pass is good with forests or model 1s.

Second question: Has anyone compared the differences between plinius and pass labs? I am interested in a new amp for totems and I want a dynamic but not to warm amp. Thanks

i have owned totem speakers, arro,,,wind,,,and i have talked with totem alot concerning equipment, until this year totem has always recommended naim ,solid state, unison tube or hybrid and they need atleast 50 watts and up. This year they used ayre ss amps,etc. ..i owned krell with my totems and loved the amp due to the balance of their amps and they do great with bass, lower frequencies....i also used cayin tube with totem and loved it....hope this may help...i do like the totem speakers , i think they are a great speaker value...and they tend to look good in any room...also sound good in a bout every room....so i suggest, naim, ayre.,krell, solid state and unison, cayin tubes....dwhitt, to answer your question about the pass amps, they are extremely well built and ofcourse sound wonderful, but i think they are to passive for the totems. krell is the most dynamic i have heard with them, check out my sytem , it shows my arro totem's with the cayin amp..what a blast for jazz,,it was my small jazz system. of the speakers you listed i like the model one...
i seem to be taking up all the room here, didn't mention the plinius ,,great amp,,,right there with the krell in dynamics...
