Miraga M1 vs Totem Mani-2

Room is about 25m2

amplifier - Kronzilla SXI , 2x50 watt in class A in single ended from monster tubes T-1610 and beefy transformators

I know that M1 and especially Mani-2 arent speakers for tubes ( low impedance and sensivity ) but I am bass lover

Now I have M1 , maybe too big for my room , but I love this deep ( about 20Hz ) bass. Some time ago I had Mani-2 but in other room with other amplifier

What do You think about change M1 for Mani-2 again

Will be Kronzilla good match with Totems ( they like Power and stability ) ?

Can Mani-2 go as low and deep as big M1, in my 25m2 room ?
I am intrrested in Your opinions and thanks for any advice

I am familiar with both speakers as two different friends had them for a number of years. The earlier Mani twos had dynaudio drivers they were certainly a step or two up from m1 s not sure how the newer models compare the new Mani twos are not as good as the ones with the dynaudio drivers in them.

Mani 2s go fairly low, but I would not say deep bass. You will want a subwoofer for that size room, especially with only 50 watts.

I know that Mani-2 is above Model One of Totem’s line

but M1 - I mean Mirage M1

I know that is big floorstanders and Totems are standmounters so is strange comparison

@bdgregory 

I dont need subwoofer now Mirage M1 with Kronzilla has very big and deep bass, I think Sound of this SET is too big for my room sometimes

Question is if Totem Mani-2 can go as low with KR in 25m2 room ? And summary which speakers will be better choice for Kronzilla in this space ( remember I am bass lover )

On paper M1- 25Hz +/-2dB    Mani-2 -  29Hz +/- 3dB
