active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2
Thanks guys. I am extremely happy with my setup right now and will keep it is and continue to love it. Regarding stands I am using four Target T stands filled with lead shots, two speaker spikes each because the speaker is a bit longer in length. ...

Very interesting idea. What's the benefit of doing it this ways as opposed to the regular passive horizontal biamping? Also, there's no crossover in the tweeter section? Thanks.

More to add - my thought process is that I am concerned that the class A sound in my setup is not going to lass very long... or not?

Right, I forgot to mention that I am currently running bi-wires. Although I see it's one speaker cable per channel but I think inside it has multiple cores (?) and on the speakers side I had the jumpers removed.I'd say there is nothing really wron...

I would describe myself as being at the bottom of the learning curve on bi-amping. Currently I have one P-102 and want to learn from other people's experience on the benefit of vertical vs. horizontal and active and passive.For vertical bi-amp, wo...

Thanks for the information Timlub. Based on the reply I received from Totem it looks like it's impractical to go active.Perhaps this is the reason why Totem recommends to bi-amp passively so the filtering is done internally with the mani-2 crossov... 
active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2
Hi Bdgregory,You are right on, the purpose is indeed to bi-amp with two Accuphase P-102 stereo amps. The reason is that the P-102 do not support bridge mono mode.I understand Totem is suggesting to use passive horizontal bi-amping but I am confuse...

Thanks Timlub.Totem doesn't recommend the use of external crossovers for optimal performance.Totem also mentioned if I wish to bi-amp they recommend doing it passively and letting the crossover use the natural filters.I don't really know what that... 
Accuphase DG-28 phono EQ possible?
Thanks for the replies guys. What Nolitan just mentioned here is most likely the reason Accuphase does not see it fit to support it as an option board...Here is more information I got from a forum from Taiwan:ChrisH: I used to own Accuphase DG-28 ... 
Accuphase DG-28 phono EQ possible?
Thanks T-bone. You mean the boards manual says it can not be used with the dg-28 and therefore the information in the catalog is incorrect?Sorry I am still confused as there shouldn't be any reason you can't use ai-ad1. What am I missing? I would ... 
Accuphase DG-28 phono EQ possible?
Thanks bigbucks. Yes I have submitted a form a few days but haven't heard back from them yet. I am going to try their distributor. Perhaps they would have some information for me. 
Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?
Rumadian, yes it's been a long time but this thread is just too valuable to be left behind :-)Sorry that I should've been more specific. I plan to drive the Mani-2 with a pure Class A Accuphase power amplifier 50 watts @ 8ohms and 80 watts @ 4ohms... 
Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?
Rumadian, I still thank you for your post two years ago. In your opinion do you think an old Accuphase 80 watts into 4 ohms amp will be able to drive the Mani-2? Thanks in advanced. 
How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter
I have not auditioned a Transporter and would very much like to compare the Balanced output to the Touch's unbalanced one.On the other hand, to have a more fair comparison I did test out the Touch's unbalanced out with a Philips LH200 CD player un... 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII or Accuphase A-20
Mapman, thanks for your reply. This really helps me decide on a bit more powerful amp. It sounds like the more power the better and the 20w Accuphase is probably not the best suited for the Totem Forest.
