I never heard the totem but I do have the C1's. I can't say enough good things about the C1's. Very transparent open and detailed. Great imaging too. Best midrange and overall balance I've heard for a monitor. They do sound better with a sub. I have a Bryston B100 SST and tried my sons 3B SST so power isn't a problem. Looks like the totems use dynaudio drivers but I would doubt they are of the confidence quality.
Dynaudio Confidence C1 vs Totem Mani-2
Anybody been able to make a direct comparison between these two monitors? Amplification is a Bryston 3B SST amp and placement will be in a 12x15x9 room. Music is Jazz and Classic rock.
Midrange neutrality and overall balance are paramount to me although I do admit to being a closet basshead. I will be auditioning the Manis later this week but the local Dynaudio dealer does not have a C1 available for a listen.
So, anyone heard both of these models?
Thanks,
Isaac
