| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 You will discover for yourself mayor...or not. If you are happy, fantastico! If something sounds underwhelming, then you may need to try some cables. The Cable Co. in Pa let’s you try cables in your system FYI | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! The Heresy speakers were the only klipsch speakers I liked. Just too small for my needs. Also, the Dyn Esotar tweeters are pretty good as well. | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Owned many brands of speakers with most of the tweeter types mentioned. I’ll take a metal dome please. The crossover has just as much to do with the sound however. Diamond is also very good. Most of the other types just can’t get the top end r... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Listening room can change a lot as well as far as power requirements go ! | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Mapleshade wires are certainly musical and distortion free but they don’t quite give you the low bass weight and definition of some other cables. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Vince at Totem makes cabinets impervious to environmental variations. They are unique in the industry. He also makes crossovers like few, if any others do. | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Plenty of power Schubert, you should be fine. 400 into 4ohms is definitely not overkill. I have a special relationship with my dealer, so not sure he could do as much off for you. Let’s just say $650 off should be a no brainer. My dealer was S... | |

| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Nice Nutty! I can’t believe how the Signatures put out such a dynamic, deep sound with such a huge cavernous soundstage...they have a presence like my old Wilson WP 6’s had but more musical!! | |

| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? What I do is I sits my arse down and listens....if it I get a “Holy Crap” feeling, this sounds so freaking real and alive like live music, I’m satisfied. Deadening anything too much sucks the life out of the music. You can hypothesize all day lo... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Pics are updated on my system now Carmenc! | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures I have single runs of the HD38’s with Magnum jumpers. Also have NBS custom jumpers for a different flavor when desired. Used Bi-Wire in past but single run seems to offer a bolder bottom end and midrange, plus I can change upper frequencies with... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Ctsooner, I wasn’t implying any particular speaker was “the best” silly. I am saying that most of the speakers that I have owned tended to deliver a more natural sound when made of wood. The worst were the Wilson’s. Magico’s were overly deadene... |
