I heard the Totem integrated ( now discontinued, isn't it? ) with Forests at the Montreal show 3 or 4 years ago. I have heard Mani-2's with the Moon W-5 also. ( This must be the combo Dbamac refers to above. )
I thought both setups were extremely good matches, indeed the W-5 seemed ideal for the Mani-2's. I remember the all-Totem sound of the other setup was transparent and neutral with lots of detail, and very dynamic.
Bryston-Totem is a popular pairing but if I wanted silicon I would go for either of these other 2 setups instead, budget permitting.
