Moon I-3 and Totem Forest?

Mimberman,

The I-5 would do a better job of powering the Forests than the I-3.

my i3 powers my dyn 1.3 se,s just fine,no lack of sofistication her either.as mimberman said,the last word?its a great sounding int,sim rep recomended that over the i5 because efficiancy,forest are easy as i recall..imhoooo!

Thank you for all the posts, i will buy the I-3 and the Forest i think.

Mani_canadian: you're right in that the i-5 would sound better. I've been thinking about this alot and trying to remember my initial impressions on both amps with the forests. The i-5 is a much better sounding amp. I think the i-3 challenged the Forests better on the low-end, and the extra juice helped bring some life in the low-end which the forests aren't known for, and that probably excited me. The i-3 did,however give way in the midrange, and the i-5 clobbers it in that respect, which is what I like so much about the forests anyway. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I finaly bought the Forest and the I-3 and it will be break in two weeks but it sound verry good now. A lot of bass and mid but i find the high is noisy. Maybe it's because the breaking time is not over. I will make a final answer in a cuple of weeks.
