| Jungson or DK Design: good with Quad 989's? Viridian, if you can't add anything constructive, you should just sit out. | |
| Totem Forest or Totem Mani 2 i would recommend bringing the hawks into your home so you can listen in your room, using your audio gear, to see how you will like the sound. going to an audio store would not be a good comparison. good luck! | |
| Review: Totem Acoustics Model 1 Monitor since my original post, i have traded and sold all of my different pairs of totem speakers and are currently using all totem mani 2's. if you like the model 1's (which i did), you will love the mani 2's. the mani's are more of everything. | |
| Integrated amp advice needed... i second hchilcoat. also, how about the mcintosh ms6500 or ma6900? | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES redbook playback i added a tube DAC to my sony 9000es for cd playback and it cured the sterile sound. now it provides a much warmer sound. | |
| Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi? nice setup. i also have a pair of mani 2's with classe and odyssey components. I have been thinking about going to a more powerful amp for the mani's, like a classe ca-301 or mcintosh mc352. as for a cdp, check out the esoteric or the musical fide... | |
| Larry Carlton & Steve Lukather - Live In Osaka i agree with you. i picked this up off of ebay a month ago for and it is fantastic. | |
| Small speakers - Totem Arro / Reference 3a Dulcet i have owned a pair of totem arros in the past and have heard the AP steps. both speakers produce an amazing sound for their size. the audio physic's are quite a bit more money than the arros. i think the steps are $1700 while the arros are $1100,... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa panderso, i did quite a bit of auditioning of other speakers before going the totem route. I auditioned: proac, aerial 10t, sonus faber, thiel 1.6, joseph, revel f30 and m20, dynaudio special 25, audio physic spark III, totem hawk, totem forest, k... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa The totem mani 2's are the way to go. i have had multiple pairs of totem speakers in the past (model 1's and arros) and sold them all to buy 2 pairs of mani 2's. The forests are also a great sounding speaker and are much easier to drive than the m... | |
| Bookshelf spkrs revisited -Spendor/Dynaudio/FA if you liked the Dynaudio speakers, you will probably like the Totem speakers. i liked the totems better than the dynaudio's. Try out the totem model 1's, great little bookshelf speaker. The totem forest or hawk speakers are a smaller floorstandin... | |
| Totem owners Sygamel, my point is this. the model 1's are great speakers, i owned a pair for years (currently have 2 pairs of the totem mani 2's, and used to own a pair of totem arro's) so i am a little familiar with totem speakers. if you need a center channe... | |
| Totem owners muzikat, i know what he asked. i would recommend the model 1 center over the mite. my point is if you spent that much money already for a great pair of speakers, don't short yourself with an inferior speaker (compared to the model 1) in the center. | |
| Totem owners i would go with the model 1 center channel myself. | |
