Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold

Hello

Totems Mani-2 with good amplification or Active Devialet Phantoms Gold ( pair ) will give overall better sound in room about 25m2

I am a bass freak , but not only bass is important for me , liquid massive midrange and spacious sweet trebble is what i like too.

Devialets propably goes deeper , but what about quality of bass ?

Any other propose small speakers with big, bold sound ?

I know that legacy calibre and dutch & dutch has good opinions , but are ratlher out of budget.

Thanks for any opinions and advice

The 9100 was 125watts and just marginally ok. Not until I used the 9200 with 200 watts did the Mani's open up. I did try tubes but lower powered tube amps will not provide the bass you buy the Mani's for. Stick with SS 200 + watts. Class D wasn't an option when I had the Mani's but i bet that some of the higher powered Class D amps that I've heard would be wonderful.
