Dynaudio Special 25 vs Totam Mani 2


I think I may be down to these two, but other suggestions are fine!

My system:
Opus 21
Pass X150
Cardas Golden Cross XLR
Synergistic Research speaker
platsolos

Any predisposition? I have heard these speakers in a store, and found them quite different. If you like drier, more detailed, higher resolution sound, the Dynaudios are better. If you like things warmer and richer, with more harmonic emphasis, the Mani-2 is better. The only issue with the Mani is power, and you have that covered, as I would expect the Pass to be an excellent mate for the Totem (I heard them with Classe). My preference would be for the Mani, as I go for sirloin over salmon, pinot noir over chardonnay, John Lee Hooker over Eva Cassidy, Porsche 911 over BMW Z8, and love over beauty.
