Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa

I bought a brand new pair of cherry Forests last year. I powered them with a Pass Labs x250 amp. My livingroom is roughly 14x22 with 8 foot ceilings. I loved the sound. Just on a whim, after reading the acolades about the Europas, I found a dealer in my area who brought a pair over for an in home trial. I bought them on the spot and still have them. Soundstage, bass response, detail were better to my ears. I have not heard the Mani-2s vs. the Europas, so no comment. From all I've talked to, the Mani-2's are superior to Forests.

Good Question (Panderso), I want to hear the answer to this
recommendation.

As an update - Vince from Totem suggested the Forests with a thunder sub given the choice of amp and room size.

Larry from LSA recommends the LSA 2, a $1499. speaker which kills the $3500., Sonus Grand Piano, according to consensus of several groups of audiophiles and non audiophiles. They sound like $12000. and list for $1400. No dynamic constraints.
Even the $625. Bookshelf would destroy all commers.

Panderso,

I have compared it to the Dynaudio Special 25 and the JM Labs Micro Utopias. For my music taste (Jazz, brazilian and latin rock) I do preffer the huge bass of the Mani-2.
Patricia Barber's Distorsion of Love, (I never went away and My Girl), are very demanding on the bass, so is Soda Stereo MTV Unplugged(first track). The Mani-2 provide deep and very tight bass on this two cds. The Special 25 bass was rather loose, the Micro Utopias couldn't go that low.
Hope this helps.
