I have to disagree with Rumadian on 'The One' not being a budget component. Yes, it was not designed with that in mind. It was however designed with no expense in mind. At its price point I don't think 'anything' can touch it. I even prefer the sonics of The One over the Mani-2 signature, the latter which I owned. I can't see how they could further optimize the Model 1's design that is not already utilized in The One--it really is THAT good. The espresso finish (root brown) is also beautiful and I wish Totem would add it as an option to all their speakers--then again that wouldn't make The One special, now would it.
