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.
