Totem model 1 with svs sb13 ultra or Forest


Hi,

This is my first post on audiogon. I currently own a pair of totem model 1's (original not sig). I really like them but would like some more bass. I'm considering a couple of options. I'm thinking I could buy an SVS sb13 ultra (cost 1600) or I'm thinking I could sell the model 1's and get a used pair of totem forests (net cost after selling model 1's 1000). If I do this, I would really like to avoid buying a different amp. I currently have a Parasound 2250 which has more than enough current to drive the model 1's.

I live in a medium sized apartment but eventually (three years from now) will move to a larger place. My setup is in my living room which is 14 ft long and 12 ft wide. I listen to everything from country and indie to electronica and hip hop.

Thanks,
Zach

My room is very close in size and I've never been able to properly integrate a sub for 2 channel listening. The best bass has always come out of larger speakers for me ie floorstanders/large monitors.
While not very familiar with Totem, the mani sigs have been highly recommended to me as on par with my other speakers. The Dynaudio based woofers are very dynamic and I would expect the mani sigs to have a very full bottom end.
