Re: Totem Vs. Spendor Vs. Proac speakers.

Ive heard many differnt Totem and Spendor speakers but not much expereince with Proac
Totem-Mani-2, Model-1, Rainmaker, Hawk, Forest
Spendor- 3/5se, sp1/2, sp100, sp2/3, s8e, s5e
Proac- 2.5, Tablette

To me I always preferred Totem they are one of my favorite speaker brands. I will always remeber the first time I heard the Mani-2 I was amazed the sound coming from a little standmount! They are very lively and open sounding. Spendor tends to be more relaxed and smooth which can be forgiving of poor recordings but also lacks a bit of excitement on rock music. As for Proac I always thought they were a bit overpriced with boomy slow bass, but ive only heard two models so I cant really give a good opinion. But for me $5000 for a small floorstander like the d25 is a bit much. Thats about $2000 more then most competeing speakers like the Totem Forest or Spendor s6e. Thats just my 2cents. Good luck and happy listening!
