Totem Model 1 Signature vs The One

The One is far superior. Just remember, it won't be around long, unless of course you find it secondhand.
The Mani 2 is a totally different animal altogether. You are correct about amp matching--very critical.

I have Totem The One's on the end of a SuperNait. FWIW, I am very pleased. I have not heard the Model 1's in my system so I can't help you with the comparison

proac response 2 or D2.

Lapierre, Chashas1, Nieuwen, Jaybo, thanks for the advice.

I have come to a conclusion that although the Totem Model 1s are great sounding speakers, they are not the last word in refinement. They lack the finesse and are a little coarse/grainy in the upper mids and highs. Any idea whether The One will *significantly* improve upon the shortcomings of the Model 1s?

Jaybo, have you compared the Proac D2 with Model 1s or The One? If yes, what are your impressions between the two?

Thanks.

Hi Ryder,
The Ones will be quite a step up. You should hear the finesse you are looking for. Right room, right gear, speakers will disappear. And make a huge sound for their size, you'd think the cabinets were much much larger.

I thought you were a Harbeth man...what happened? just looking for a change?
