| Totem Mani 2 Signatures vs. Usher BE-718 The Usher is a good speaker, and retails for well under the Mani-2 Signature. People should keep that into perspective when directly comparing the two.That said, in line with current advice, the Mani 2 Signatures are just too much speaker for that... | |
| Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros The Harbeth / Lavardin match should be gold. In fact its rather funny, when I read this thread, I instantly thought "Harbeth".The Jadis / Dali Mentor 6 would also be good, although I'd highly encourage an audition of the Mentor 6 prior to buying. ... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Since I can't edit my post (to correct my horrible grammar), I am posting here to correct a slight mistake regarding my above riffs on class D. I should have said "reactive loads" instead of "active loads". Cheers. | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Metronet,Both the Forest and the Mani-2 play nice with class D amplification. I've powered both of them with my H2O Signature 100 with splendid results. Of course, that amp uses a beefy linear dual mono power supplies and is stable down to 1/4th o... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? At this very moment, I currently have a set of Sttafs, Forests, and Mani-2 Signatures in my abode. I also ran a set of Hawks roughly two or so years ago. They all make great music. You could say that I dig on the Totem sound.Im drawn to each a... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Hieule, The HiVi woofer may not have the same history and cool factor as a true Dynaudio woofer, but it's performance is not slighted in any way. Oh well - I prefer the Scan Speak Revelator to either the Hi Vi or the Dynaudio woofs anyway. :)Once ... | |
| Totem Baroque - If "The One" wasn't designed with budget performance in mind - than how can you disagree with my above statement? Heh. I'm glad that you enjoy your set. I hope to bring a pair into my abode someday. | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff With respect to Hieule, I share a few different opinions on the gear. Although I certainly agree that towers like the Arro and Sttaf offer an advantage in terms of value when you factor in the need for high quality stands and greater lengths in wi... | |
| Totem Arch - "The One" was designed to push the parameters of what is possible from Vince's Model 1 design. What you get is a bit more of everything. The most notable improvements come in the form of an increased delivery of speed and transparency - wit... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Bluecirclehead, Thanks for the correction. Apparently, I got the DAR and the NSCS mixed up in my head. Doh! No matter, both are fantastic in their own right. | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff MxWizard,Thanks for providing us with a bit of insight on how you intend on using the Sttaf. First things first; the room you describe is not the most ideal space for the Sttaf. What this particular speaker needs to sound its best is a small room ... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mxwizard,What type of music do you listen to? What size of room are you trying to fill? How loud do you like to take things?I've owned the Sttaf for 5 years. In this time, I've matched the little speakers with at least three dozen or so integrated... | |
| Best Integrated, period. First, let me clarify that I do not believe that there is any one 'best' of anything in this hobby. The following response is what I personally consider to be the best to my ears, and in my experiences thus far.On the more expensive side of town, ... | |
| H20 Revisited Muralman,Like any other good component, the better situation you can give the Signature 100, the better it will sound. That said, I honestly feel that this particular amplifier requires super high end sources, interconnects, speaker cable, what ha... | |
| H20 Revisited Standing at $2000 new, the Signature 100 stands as my personal reference for what is possible at and under the $3000 mark. It has the cajones to drive any speaker on planet earth, and is what I consider to be a solid 8 out of 10 in every regard to... |
