Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
I certainly knew that the Model 1 need power and current to perform well, but I never thought that the 250w/4 ohms Vincent SV237MK, with is (usually) bass heavy sound signature was not enough! They paired ok but nothing to write home about!  I wi... 
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
@ryder sure the M30.2 are a bigger and more capable speakers - they are for years on my “to get” list, but they are a out of my reach for now. This Model 1 are mint used, bought from the Totem dealer, so I got a great price, in fact it was the cha...

@dz13,  thanks but I already have the Model 1 and am loving them :)  
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
@akg_ca, it is funny, my dealer has the Rega Osiris always ready for a listen, and for a moment I thought of asking him to connect it to the Model 1 but my wallet conscience stopped me. I knew that I would like it a lot but it is 8000+ euros! I j... 
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
@akg_ca, I didn’t knew about the existence of a Totem integrated amplifier neither the connection with Sim Audio! Thanks :) I have enjoyed all Celeste / Sim Audio / Moon components that I have experienced but never owned any. A few years ago I al... 
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
@marco1, yes you’re right, if the 9200 is even better than the 8150 then  it will be a wonderful thing. @akg_ca, thanks so much for all the information and tips. I had the Chord Odyssey a few years ago, to use with my Naim pre-power amp, but pre...

Marco1, seems that we are on the same page, since I am looking for a Plinius 9200 for some time now. In the past I had not one but two 8150 and I surely miss them. As for the Oval 9 they are a bit pricey for me and hard to find here in Europe. T... 
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
In your opinion, are the Analysis Plus Clear Oval good enough?  
Any Straightwire Encore speaker cable users?
Thanks jafant. The SW are certainly different in comparison with the Supra, more transparent and better in the bass region.  
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
Thanks Marco1 for the tip. I will look into it :)  
Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro
This Saturday morning I went to my dealer and listened to the Model 1 and I must say that they certainly made a good impression... so good that I will change my Arro for them, this Thursday. Luckily my stands are the Target R4 that were recommende... 
Any Straightwire Encore speaker cable users?
Thanks to all for answers :) I am already using the SW Encore in my system and the first impressions are great... with Vincent SV237MK and Totem Arro.  
Thiel Owners
I just bought a mint condition Thiel CS.5 and very happy with the results I am getting in my room. This is a serious speaker indeed. Paired with a Vincent SV-236MK integrated amp (tested also with a Rogue Sphinx and a NAD C275BEE power amp) it pro...
