| Avalon Symbol surround set I tried the Symbols in my room for couple of weeks. They are one of the ugliest looking speakers I've ever seen. The sound is ok, but I prefered my Totem Acoustic Hawk much more. | |
| Any experience with the Esoteric UX-1 The Ayre player only has digital audio output. When you say that Ayre is much better than Esoteric, what D/A converter did you run it through? I really doubt it was head and shoulders above the Esoteric X-01. | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? Thanks Sonance, that was exactly the answer I was looking for. | |
| What's your profession? Age? 22 years young. Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering student attending U. of IL. at Urbana-Champaign (I hate North Carolina). No WAF to worry about for me :) I've owned my trusty McIntosh MC7300 power amp for over a decade and probably has over 10,... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem Dunko, I also own a pair of Totem Acoustic Hawk loudspeakers and love it. For your $1000, a subwoofer would be by far the best upgrade for bass.Do not move the speakers too close to the walls to improve your bass, becuase that's not exactly "impro... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Hi Sailfishben, Well, I have never personaly experienced two subwoofers setup receiveing separate stereo signals. But I've heard from people who say it makes a big difference. I figured I'd buy couple of subwoofers to try it out and A/B test it w/... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Hi Sailfishben, A single DD15 or DD18 would be nice but I'm really interested in running two subs in stereo. When I say stereo, I don't mean two subs daisy chained to each other receiving the same LFE signal, but two subs receiving different left ... | |
| Looking for a good tuner with AM too I'm a huge fan of McIntosh tuners. They'll get every single AM stations that you didn't think existed. I have an excellent MR7083 sitting around if you're interested. Let me know. | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? I agree w/ both Sonance and Ghunter. A quality true full range speaker will be better for music than a poorly setup speakers + sub combination. However, if you're looking at subwoofers such as Velodyne's Digital Drive series, Revel B15, Ultima30, ... | |
| Will a Music Hall Maven drive Totem Man-2's? Hi Cnelsonmd, When I was considering the Totem Mani-2 signitures, the dealer repeatedly told me to make sure I have a quality system that can make the Mani-2 bloom. The Mani-2 is one of the toughest Totem loudspeakers for amps to drive. It has a ... | |
| Totem Hawks vs. Forest Hi Jkw1, Yes I've heard many Totem Acoustic's loudspeakers when I used to live in Singapore. I auditioned the Hawk, Forest and the Mani-2 sig. all in one sitting, so I have a pretty good idea of what they sound like. I personally decided on the Ha... | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? Thanks for the thoughtful reply Sonance, I'd love to hear the Wind myself, but I'm currently in college and don't have a car here, and there isn't a Totem dealer in my state... The only speakers I'd buy without hearing them first is Totem. When I... | |
| Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind? Hi Jh2os, Looking at your system, I think we have pretty similar taste. I absolutely love the Totem sound and I think my Hawks can perform well in my bigger living room. However, the Winds got me really thinking about leaving the Hawks as my bedro... | |
| How to improve XM Radio audio quality? XM quality is much better than any FM reception. | |
| Does Mcintosh MDA1000 work with DCS Purcell ? I hope you know that the MCD1000 plays ONLY red book CDs. It does NOT play SACDs or DVD-As. The MDA1000 was made to perfectly complement it so you should by the two as a pair if you're going that route. Just wanted to warn you that the MCD1000 is ... |
