I've never lived with the Mani 2, but I love my Forest's. One thing to keep in mind is that the Forest is comparatively much more efficient and would be the better choice if you were ever interested in going the low powered amp route. Don't judge their sensitivity by the manufacturer's specs. The story is much more involved than that. I am using 15 watt tube mono amps with great results. Probably not a good choice for the tiny power single ended stuff, but very capable with lowish powered amps.
Totem Forest or Totem Mani 2
Hi All.
I am considering to upgrade my Totem hawk with these two speakers and would appreciate opinions of those who have had experience with one or both of these speakers.
My Music room is 12 x 20 with hardwood floor and carpet.
My system is :
- Audio Analogue Maestro CD
- Audio Analogue Pucinni SE (as a pre amp)
- Rotel RB-1080
- Totem Hawk
the opinions/advices from Audiogoners would be appreciate
Thanks a lot
Jopie
