| Good cable mate with Paradigm Studio 100v2? I run LAT International biwires with 60v2s and Classe gear and am happy. I don't hear the offensively bright tweeter that many complain about with this combo.www.latinternational.com | |
| Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP? Finite Elemente ceraballs directly under my CD Player made an obvious difference to me (~120). Right now I have them under my turntable with a 2" maple platform. I am getting another set eventually under my CDP. | |
| Integrated Amp with Totem Forests and Arcam 23 Simaudio I-3 or I-5. | |
| Help Low Freq. From Totems? Is it there? Bdgregory, why don't you try the little Totem Dreamcatcher sub? If that is not enough bass try tht Totem Lightning. Both are synergistic with other Totem speakers.DrKen, the bass is quite good with the Hawks. | |

| Have you tried any room treatments? I am presently using 8th Nerves roompack. The difference was quite noticeable. I have an odd shaped room. It was equivalent to an equipment upgrade. | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K Spacekadet since you seem to like the Totem sound, how about moving up to the Forest in your living room? Other candidates could include the Meadowlark Osprey or Von Schweikert speakers. | |
