Neat Ultimatum MFS vs Totem Mani 2

In the future I might be interested in some decent monitor speakers. So far these are my 2 favorite candidates. I have heard the mani-2 with my amp and like it a lot. Even though my amp is only 100w aprox. But I came across the Neat Ultimatum MFS. It seems like a good candidate to challenge the mani-2. Has anyone compared the two? I haven't found much on-line info on the Neat Ultimatum MFS, can anyone tell me a bit more about this speaker. Will it do better with my 100w amp compared to the mani-2. I have heard Neat speakers at shows, don't remember what model only that most of the time naim gear is used to demo them and I liked what I heard.

So if you look at my current system what would be better Totem or Neat. I play mostly rock.

Well the Mani-2 were sold already. So I have to wait for an other pair to show up on the 2nd hand market. Not really sure if the Neat is still for sale. I need to contact the seller one of these days.

However things took a turn. While browsing for speakers I can across a set of Master One speakers. I don't think there are being sold outside of the Netherlands. For info see:

These just might be the speakers that I'm looking for.

Dynamic Solutions don't seem to get much publicity here but the Master One looks pretty solid and well-built. The specs are quite impressive too going down to 21Hz. A near full-range speaker.

Enjoy~

Hi Ryder,

I am not sure but i don't know if master speaker are even being sold out side of the Netherlands. If I understood correctly Master started as a DIY speaker that Rick Paap build for himself. Howere other people also were interested in this speaker. So he made a modest line of speakers. The new Master Persuader is his 1st attempt in building a 3 way speaker. I hope to hear this speaker in Sneek during the Analoog dagen.

Mordante,
The Netherlands seems like a fabulous place. Curious, what's the audio scene like there?
