| Turntable Essentials? Brf is exactly right, the grooves of your 60-70 y.o. records are caked with all sorts of historical grunge. You need to make a plan as to the best way to clean them before you get to enjoy them. Playing them as is, even though they may appear clea... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Watt- lighten up, carrying a resentment over Viridian's opinion for NINE YEARS. I would write Richard Vandersteen with any question I had with my Vandy's, he would always reply, in volumes. Great sound, butt ugly speakers. I even tried with the so... | |
| Speakers to pair with krell that rock I would love to hear my Totem Mani-2's powered by your Krell amp. Seems like it would be a very nice sound for rock/etc. I wouldn't mind swapping my Bryston for a Krell, maybe someday. (The Bryston Mani-2 combo is outstanding though) | |
| Totem Mani 2 Signature: Bryston 14b ST good match? I think you will be very happy with Bryston powering your Mani 2's. I have been using a 250w 4B for the past 9 months and am very satisfied. Plenty of low end authority and power to make the Totems sing beyond their size. A magical combo if ever t... | |

| Music and politics If the money was in right wing politics Hollyood would be building a statue to the g-d George Bush. Artists follow the money- like the rest of us. | |
| Best speaker used under $1000 for piano rec. I would 2nd the DeCapo's, hard to get a better sounding speaker at that price. I am also a big fan of Totem Acoustics, I've been running a pair of Mani2's for the last 6 months and love 'em. Although they would be a little more $$$, there are plen... | |
| Good speaker match for Mcintosh MC275 IV Nmmusicman-Sorry for the hi-jack but I am wondering if you have tried the Nola Black Orpheus speaker cables with your Viper's? When I switched to them on my Alon's it was not a subtle difference. | |
| Supertweeters - please advice which one I have a pair of LCY Super tweets ($500/pr) that I use occasionally. I have found them easy to integrate, you just wire them directly to your binding posts and they sound fine. I have also used them with an eq but found that wasn't necessarry. I f... | |
| I would like to borrow SET amp based in CT Take Five Audio (203) 777-1750 on Whitney Ave New Haven will let you take items from 5pm closing on saturday until monday morning. They have always been reasonable with me. | |
| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion Alblang- IMO-you would be fine with the NAD, I would contact Vince at Totem and he would be THE person to ok the match. BobReynolds- Is that your experience or something you read? I am currently running the Mani2 and they fill my room better than ... | |
| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion I have heard both the Revel M20 and M22, they are very good speakers and do a lot of the things you are looking for. Neither are in the league of the 2 Totem speakers I mentioned but very good ( and much less money) none the less. The M22 sound bi... | |
| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion The Totem Model 1 or Mani2 will fit your bill with one caveat, they must be deisel powered. With the 2 concentric bass drivers in each box they play much bigger than a monitor but you have to drive them with a high current powerful amp, think Sima... | |
| crackling in first minutes after steam cleaning After you steam clean what type of vacuum are you using to remove the dirty water? I damaged a few records while vacuuming the water, the head of the vac came in contact with the record/slurry and made some very fine scratches. I am very cautious ... | |
| Totem model 1: woofer rubber stiff -- Slight buzz Contact Totem Acoustics, they provide excellent service and no one knows their speakers better. |
