Totem Model 1 Sig with Sub or Mani 2 without a Sub

i used to have a pair of model 1's with a rel strata III sub for my 2 channel audio system with classe equipment in a smallish room, 12 x 13.5. very sweet sounding. IMO, the Rel subs along with the totem sub are very hard to beat for audio. i have since sold my arros and model 1's with the REL and purchased multiple pairs of mani 2's. the model 1's are 1 of the finest sounding monitor speakers around (and will probably own another pair in the future) but the mani's are another level above them. in my 13 x 24 foot dedicated room, the mani's are close to 5 ft from the rear wall and they sound fantastic. they just disappear. they do need a powerful amp and a sturdy pair of stands to get the best sound out of them. As for the forests being better than the model 1's/w sub, that is a tough call. i also liked the forests and almost bought them but decided on the model 1's/w the Rel sub, just as i prefer the mani's over the forests and the winds. the winds would be better for a ht setup (imo) than for pure audio listening. keep the mani's, you can always experiment with a good (fast) sub.
