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 had this first version Mani-2 ( with Dynaudio + Seas speakers ) some years ago, but as I said in other room and with SS amplification . I dont think that Mani-2 is level about Mirage M1. Especially in bass M1 can reaches so deep and low , that Totems ( which has really good bass ) cant . Maybe Totems are more sparkle but Mirage has more relaxed sound.

Problems ( and question is ) if Mirage M1 is too big for this size of room , and Totems will be better choice and if Kronzilla ( 50 watt class A single ended triode ) can drive Mani-2 properly ?

I had Mani 2's for a number of years.  Not familiar with the Mirage,  No way is 5o wats enough for the Mani's unless you plan to high pass them with a sub.  And then what's the point of getting Mani's?

Mani 2's with the right amp, and in the right room is a better speaker.  Mani 2's always had Dynaudio drivers in them.  This was the reason they were discontinued, because Totem was having troubles sourcing the drivers.  At least that's what I was told by Totem a couple years ago.  

Thanks for all Your opinions

question is if 50 watt in class A from SET ( but 50 kg of weight with beefy transformer ) will be enough power for Mani-2 in room about 20 m2 .?

Mani 2's with the right amp, and in the right room is a better speaker. 

 

The same can be said about the M-1. My first real a-ha moment in audio was at a dealer that had M-1 Si vertically biamped with a pair of Krell KSA-250s in a large room. I have heard a number of 2 way monitors, and none are capable of doing what those speakers did in that room with those amps. I don't know that he has the right amp for either speaker as both are power hungry. The Mani is probably the better fit for that room. The Mirages need a big room with the ability to get them well out from the front wall.
