VSA vs. Totem


How do you think that the Totem Forest with subwoofer or Mani 2 Reference would stand up against my VR4 jr's that for the most part I love. I have been tossing around the idea about something different. My amps are the Quicksilver V4 monoblocks (easily 120 tube watts per side).
Another option would be to upgrade my Vr4 jr's (original edition) to the new reference edition. Thanks...Edward

I have Mani-2's (the original one) with a Rel Storm III in one dedicated room, and VSA VR4genIII's in another. The VR4genIII is a step up from the VR4jr (Albert Von Schweikert's assertion, not mine), though the jr is a slightly newer platform.

If you look at my virtual system you can see the setups. One thing to note, I have swapped the speakers between rooms (one is a dual purpose Music/home theater room), so my judgments about them aren't colored by room influence.

I wouldn't say either is better. They are different, and I'm completely satisfied having both and alternating between them.
