American tube technology with the wonderful lively sound of well crafted Canadian speakers. An over powerful system for the bedroom, and a system to last a lifetime! Who says Tubes are not enough power for totems. This system proves them all wrong! It started over 8 years ago with a little cary audio SLI-80. Then got a huge deal on 2x Cary CAD-120s and traded my integrated for a Cary SLP-98p, and no regrets. Plans for an upgrade to Totem Element Earths from the forests!
