Totem Mani 2 Sig. vs Dynaudio C1


Hi 'goners, and happy holidays.

I'm considering pairing standmounts with my Karan KAI-180 mkII 180w SS integrated amp, and have been considering the Totem Mani 2 Signature, or one of the iterations of Dynaudio C1. Don't have the opportunity to listen before I buy though.

The speakers will be firing across the short dimension of my 13' x 28' adjoining living/dining room, positioned on either side of my fireplace in an approximate 10' triangle with listening position. Hoping the speakers would be able to charge the room with bass, given their small footprint.

Any advice is appreciated.

Great, thanks Xti16 - all good info.
Now, can anyone comment who has had experience with both the Mani 2 sig. and Dyn C1?

Great responses, all. Thank you!
Can anyone tell me if either works better at low volume?
Yes, Barry, that's what I would assume - makes sense to me. In that case, neither the Totem or Dyn would be the best choice for low volume listening. I have heard too, that the later C1s are much better at low volume - something about a tweak to the crossover?
