Warm sound, cold sound... whats it to you?

[GMichael]

I have never heard that 3 dB is the smallest noticeable change! Unless it's a very narrow peak--as with the Totem Mani-2.

I also think the Totem Mani-2 is a very fine sounding speaker, very neutral if not quite perfect.

I listened to several Totem speakers. Don't remember the models but each and every pair sounded very nutural to me. Clear, crisp with great imaging. Unless you walked right up to the speaker you couldn't tell which one was on.

I can hear a 1dB change. 3 dB is a huge swing to me.
