| Totem vs Dynaudio To me, Dynaudio is one of the cornerstone brands in high end audio. Just solid, solid and solid all around and hard to beat.Totem is also up there.YMMV. | |
| Totem vs Dynaudio I think it will come down more to personal preference than one being a better match to the amp than the other.Otherwise, check the sensitivity ratings maybe and see if one is more sensitive and more likely to go louder easier if that is a concern ... | |

| How can anyone afford this ? Money certainly helps, but....You don't have to spend a lot if you focus first on rightsizing the system to the room and then focusing on value components rather than those where cost/price is no object.There is very good stuff in both categories.... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thanks John.One of these days, perhaps before too long, I will test the waters with the latest drivers.... | |
