Re: Totem Mani2....where's the bass?

RGA

There are several speakers that have
"normal" impedance curves that perform
better with high current amplifiers.
The notorious ones are Dynaudio and Maggies.
I am sure there are others but
those are the ones I am familiar with.
Like there are speakers that thrive on
higher on output impedance amplifiers.
Matching amplifier to speakers is normal.
Mani 2s use modified Dynaudio bass drivers so
they NEED high current amplifiers to drive them.
Read ANY review of Dynaudio speakers
and they say the same thing.
Nothing new here.

>> anything that Arcam can run - a Bryston can run

Listen to Maggies or Logans with
Arcam and Bryston amplifiers and
you will realize that's incorrect.
Don't get me wrong I like Bryston
with the right speakers though.
