Totem mani 2 or Dynaudio 1.3 SE


Both of these are relatively inefficient two way mini monitors. I'm trying to decide between them. I am thinking of purchasing a used set of one of these pairs of speakers. I have heard the Contour 1.3 MkII. Have not heard the SE version but assume that the more of a good thing concept holds true. I really liked the 1.3's but I keep reading wonderful things about the Mani 2 that seem to very much to describe the sound I am looking for. Does anyone out there have experience with both of these speakers that wants to put in their two cents?

I am a Totem Mani-2 owner, and I can say that they are incredible speakers. You will get full range sound from a small package. You have to put them on a strong solid stand and drive them with lots of smooth amplifier power. It will reveal any flaw in the upstream components so be carefull to go for quality. Some of the cleanest and most powerful bass in a real world speaker I've heard.
