Totem model 1 signature or Dynaudio 52


I have been using the Totems on one of my systems - they come with the Dynaudio drivers. I'm not totally happy with the bass or the soundstage. Have heard praise for the Dynaudio Audience 52's which can be had used for less that the Totems. Any advice/comparison shall be much appreciated.

I owned the Model 1s (not signature) and my impression was similar, very nice but lacking bass. Not familiar with the Audience speakers but am with the older Contour 1.3s which had a very rich, robust sound. For me it's no contest, the Dynaudios win hands down.
That being said, I'm now using a pair of Revel M-20s. These are the best monitors I've had in my system.
There are currently two listings for the Revels, both under $1k. I'm going off memory but the 1.3s usually list a tad over $1k. There were also some upgraded versions of the Dynaudio 1.3s and my experience was with the early version. Good luck with your search.
