matching the Arros

thanks for all the responses. Do you think most dealers would let me bring my speakers in to audition with their amps?

Plinius 9100 would be a good match for the Arros. You could also look into some of the older Plinius models like the 8100...

I think many dealers would be OK with that, especially if you did it on a weekday when things were slow.

You would be better off to try the amp in your listening room with your other gear. Also easier and safer to transport one metal amp than 2 wooden speakers, even light ones like the Arros.

Dealer worth their salt would buy into either scenario.

Also, send Totem an email to get their current opinion.

I used a SimAudio i-3, Cayin TA-30, and Rogue Perseus/Stereo 90 with the Arros. All were nice matches, but I preferred to power them with tubes.
