Totem THE ONE vs Totem Signature One
The ONE vs TS1's are about better dynamic shadings and tonal purity assuming the ancillaries are able to resolve the differences. I think the Forest speakers are the world champs if the space allows...look Ma, no stands:) 
How does Totem do it ???
Good to hear from some other Totemites:) I have gone astray over the last couple of years trying mega buck speakers from Dynadio, Krell and Wilson but the Forests still haunt me. I am ordering a new pair of cherry Forests wt beaks next week! I als... 
New Krell s300i vs. the older 400/300
Yup, I should have known better!! 
KRELL S-300i How does it sound ?
I went back to the 400xi and sold my S300i...it was just too cool and forward sounding for me in the long run, despite how good the S300i is..FYI:) 
New Krell s300i vs. the older 400/300
After prolonged listening, I decided to sell the S300i and buy one of the last 400xi's for sale. The 400xi is warmer and more musical overall. The S300i was just a bit too cool and forward for my tastes. 
Power ac cable for Krell Evo Two ?
I second the one that came with it...I am using a Krell power cord on my BAT VKD5 24bit CDP and it is one of the best sounding PC's I've heard (replaced my MIT Oracle AC 2 msrp $4200:) 
New Krell s300i vs. the older 400/300
I had to push hard for 15% off:) 
New Krell s300i vs. the older 400/300
First of all, the transformer is the same at 750VA (there was some rounding off of values in some of the earlier Krell literature, but it has always been 750VA). The internal layout is a virtual dual mono design, with each channel seperated with d... 
New Krell s300i vs. the older 400/300
Somehow a ground connection came loose (shipping?) so it would lock up from static discharge. Simple fix. As for power, the new S300i plays with more command of the loudspeaker...does 435/4ohm dynamic peak power before current limiting. In effect,...

Jeepers Dylanhenry, could you please list all of the amazing gear and speakers you have owned? Gee, that sure would be nice. Maybe then we could have a little peak at the man behind the knowledge:) 
KRELL S-300i How does it sound ?
The S300i has the control and refinement of more costlier seperates i.e..the Levinson 360s and 334 combo i once owned. Soundstaging is far less vague and more holographic with great image placement and layering of instruments. Bass definition is i...

Does anybody else think Dylanhenry needs some couch time? 
Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference
Ah, the show room fixture with a lack of means. They know all and recommend only the finest gear someone else's money can buy. Speakers are a personal choice. B&W makes a fine speaker, as does Wilson. The Wilson Sophia 1 and 2 have garnered th... 
KRELL S-300i How does it sound ?
Had a repair done to my S300i...it's even better sounding than I thought:)
