I have owned both and was more pleased with the C1 overall, although the Mani 2 definately was superior in bass extension. I just found the C1 to be more coherent and easier and more enjoyable over the long term. Each to their own though. I actually preferred th Dynaudio Special 25 Anniversary over both C1 and Mani 2. It also has good bass extension and is a little more sensitive than either. They all are great speakers.
Totem Mani 2 Sig. vs Dynaudio C1
Hi 'goners, and happy holidays.
I'm considering pairing standmounts with my Karan KAI-180 mkII 180w SS integrated amp, and have been considering the Totem Mani 2 Signature, or one of the iterations of Dynaudio C1. Don't have the opportunity to listen before I buy though.
The speakers will be firing across the short dimension of my 13' x 28' adjoining living/dining room, positioned on either side of my fireplace in an approximate 10' triangle with listening position. Hoping the speakers would be able to charge the room with bass, given their small footprint.
Any advice is appreciated.
