Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?


I am looking for a pair of Totem speakers that will work well with Bel Canto Ref1000 monoblocks.

So far I have only auditioned the Forest and Staff (with the Ref1000 too) but have not had a chance to try the Mani-2.

For those Totem owners out there, could you give me some suggestions? as how they compare and stuff... Thanks!

Keep in mind Metro that the Mani -2 demand loads more power the forest do in order to reproduce what they are capable of accomplishing. I have some totem winds right now and have been shopping for an amp adequate enough to drive them properly. Good luck with your quest.
Thanks for fixing that statement Rumadian. I was also goin to comment on the fact the winds do have a Dynaudio driver. That was the one of the criteria's that helped me decide on purchasing the Winds.
Well just to let you know Stricken i was out at my dealer last wknd and he took apart the driver of the wind for me and saw for myself its dynaudio driver so quit with your anoying statements ok.
I don't quite agree with that, i have a pair of winds which is just as hard to drive and im using 350 watts per channel amp and i can still tell they could use more power. My Bryston is good but could use more power. The Mani's are just as hard to drive if not harder. Yes it will drive the Mani but will it do it efficiently ? i dont think it will. But if im wrong let me know.
