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 also in the market for some speakers and have found the Dyn 1.3 se to be as described in this thread. Extremely accurate with the best tonality of speakers at its price point and a bit above. I have not heard the mani 2.
They dyns are a little tough to drive however. Tube amps need not apply, but I think it would be a great match with your CJ pre. I love their preamps and I think the dyn would be a nice match for its warmth. I think that the mani-2, as described in this thread, would be far too slow and tubby with the CJ. Best of luck in your search!
