Totem Mani 2 sig vs Dynaudio special 25s


hello folks,

I'm looking to upgrade my speakers and wanted to solicit some general feedback from anybody who has had the opportunity to listen to both Totem Mani 2 signatures and Dynaudio special 25 speakers. I currently own a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140s and love their sound. I was able to swing by a Totem dealer the other day and heard their Model 1's and was very impressed so I'm hoping that the Mani 2's sound even better. Any thoughts on how the Mani 2's and Special 25's compare?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Ucsb21, This may not be much help. The Dyns won't make the bass of the Manis. Unless you have a smaller room you will want a sub for both. Better tweeter in the Dynaudio, but it takes a HIGHLY resolving system to hear the difference.
I do think the image is a little more believeable with the Totems. I also think they are a little more room friendly. If this is part of your decision process, try to find a used pair of 25 Anniversary speakers, and see how much of the original retail they still command! Told you this might not help!
