Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: AN speakers: "let it be said that they are much larger speakers using a bigger woofer and corner loading'

Firslty the speaker was not measured for its intended position which will seriously effect the end result. You should know that but so should Stereophile's editor - the last technical editor they had does know which is why his results were significantly different.

I am not a bass freak but I do like good sounding bass with cohesiveness - and I like it to be textured and dynamic like the rest of the sound.

I know several Totem owners who went to AN and none the other way -- but then unlike you I have done comparisons and actually listened to the speakers rather than guess what it "might" be like when I read the graph of speakers not set-up properly.

I have heard the Mani-2 several times set-up by people who know what they're doing. Including an ex-owner of them. They are good loudspeakers - but I would gladly run a preference based blind session againt the Mani-2 any day.
