| Do I have enough power? What kind of distance to the wall do the Mani's need to sound decent? That might be a problem in my room. | |
| Do I have enough power? Jerroot,The main reason I am not completely sold on the Mani-2's is only because I haven't been able to listen to them (my Totem dealer doesn't sell the model). I know some will say that you shouldn't consider a speaker without auditioning it firs... | |
| Do I have enough power? Actually, I already have the Cronus Magnum and I am contemplating getting a pair of the Mani-2's. It's good to hear how much you guys like the Mani-2's in general though, because I'm still not completely sold on them (I'm considering the Totem Haw... | |
| any def tech fans? I have to agree with bondmanp. The Def Techs that I have heard were all painful to listen to. Boomy bass with very harsh highs/treble, and little to no midrange. My brother purchased them for a home theater system and they sounded significantly wo... | |
| Cable to emphasize midrange in Totem My budget is a bit flexible. Is there anything above the 8TC price point that stands out in particular? | |
| Cable to emphasize midrange in Totem The amount of offerings from Cardas are dizzying, and greatly vary in price. Can you comment at all on how much all the different cables they sell differ in quality/sound, and are there certain models that I should look for in particular?Also, if ... | |
| Looking for a great value integrated I think I may try to do some auditioning of the integrated amps you guys mentioned with my Rainmakers. But, what about if I just decide to focus on the B&W system--what would go well with the CM7's for a bit cheaper? Let me be clear, I don't l... | |
| Totem Rainmaker vs Dynaudio Excite 12 shelf spks? I don't know if you're still looking for speakers, but I just wanted to tell you that I think the Rainmakers are a great all-around speaker for the price and they can definitely fill a large room. I have a pair of Rainmakers in my bedroom, which i... | |
| Anyone have experience with Yaqin? I'd like to add something: My goal for now is to get the best "tube" sound possible from my solid state system. This will be my first venture into tubes. I understand people's hesitation with buying from company like Yaqin--not only is there a deg... | |
| Good budget tube amp? Please, by all means ramble as much as you'd like, because I am eager to learn about tube amps. I've been reading as much as I can lately about them. In addition to the Totems, I also have a pair of B&W CM7's that I use for TV-system. Since th... | |
| Good budget tube amp? another question I have...other than power, is there any reason I should prefer the ST-120 over the ST-70 or vice-versa? | |
| Good budget tube amp? I regards to my totem speakers, what exactly isn't great about them for pairing with tubes? I've heard them with a rogue audio Cronus and i thought it sounded great. So, what exactly do you mean--do other speakers pair much better with tubes, and ... | |
| Good budget tube amp? Hey guys, I really appreciate all the time you put into your responses. I am going to spend some time later today going over them in depth. So far, I really like what I'm reading. The idea of putting my own tube amp together is exciting, from both... | |
| Good budget tube amp? as far as compatibility with my speakers goes, is it just the impedance I need to worry about? So, whether it can handle 4ohm/8ohm, etc? Also, in my searches, are there any amps that I should definitely stay away from? | |
| Need a DAC recommendation Arni--you make a good point about borrowing the combo from my other system. For some reason, I haven't thought to do that(I have the V-DAC/V-Link set up at my gf's place) but I will bring it home and compare the v-link with straight coax into the ... |
