Let's face it: you don't really like monitor type speakers, which makes sense since you are a bass freak. So your advice really amounts to suggesting that Oli consider larger speakers--which several of us have already suggested."but the Mani-2 is completely outclassed."
Not every one thinks so. Now, we do have good measurements of one AN speaker easily available. The $12,000 Audio Note E AN-E Lexus Signatures have a big peak in the lower midrange and a mild depression between 1 and 3 kHz with some roughness, and a peak at 10 kHz (high enough not to matter much), along with mediocre horizontal dispersion. But, it evidently does most of what *you* want it to do.
Bass response in a room is highly dependent on the room acoustics, speaker placement, and listener placement. I have heard the Totem Mani-2 Signatures in a normal listening room and the bass response was excellent. And they sounded great.
