I sold Totem for several years and have reluctantly sold non-totem brand bi-wire cable. Vince recommended to me when I purchased my Mani-2s to use totems own (and he had no reason to sell me on it because he wasnt making any money). Reason being is Totem bi-wire utilizes the same wire leads found on the internal crossover of the Mani-2, which ensure perfect continuity.

However in a larger room the winds pull ahead. You will also achieve a little more resolution and information at the expense of fine focus (mani)
