What amp. to use with Totem Forest?

At the Stereophile Hi-Fi show in New York, Vince Bruzzese used Totem's own "Amber" integrated amplifier to drive the Forests. Vince told me that Totem designs its speakers to sound good with a wide variety of amplification, but would sell an Amber to anyone who wanted one. I didn't ask him how much it cost, but thought I remembered seeing it priced elsewhere around 4-5K.

After Vince demoed the Forests/Amber, I stayed on to hear the Hawks driven by the Plinius 8200 Mark II (which he also used to drive the Model 1 signatures).

Fantastic sound from every model, and very hard to pick a favorite.

I know that Totem and Sim are thought to like each other. I also heard the Forest driven by Classe to great effect. Go Canada.

I would like an amp. with a remote volume control. What about the stuff from Krell? I am only using one digital input(Sony DVP9000es).
Thanks

I would suggest getting Plinius 8200 integrated amplifier that is probably the most valuable integrated amp that can beat separates in its price range. Krell/Forest combo seems to be too edgy and too bright to me.

How would the Anthem Amp 2 Spec Edition work with the Forests? I don't have the dollars for the Plinius at this time.
