| Totem Mani-2 and Adcom 555/2 i used to own a pair of odyssey mono blocks and compared to the classe or mcintosh amps, there are on the cool side. if you want a warmer amp, try the classe or mcintosh amps. | |
| Former Revel Salon Owners: What Did You Switch To? i agree with mmike84. the dynaudio c-4's are a great sounding speaker. i listened to them with cary equipment and they sounded very very nice. the salons are 1 of the best speakers i have heard. IMO, the salons are superior over the aerial 20t's. ... | |

| Totem Speakers on Levinson gear?? i have never heard these components with totem, but i have heard them with other fine speakers with excellent results. they should match up well with the totems. i have used classe and mcintosh components with the different totem speakers i've had... | |
| Audio Quality on Digital Out on Mac Mini look for the ipod mini jack to optical cable. you can buy a complete monster kit with a few cables or just get the mini/optical cable at your local mac store | |
