Same size woofer but larger cabinet - it's also considerably easier to drive - it's more of a competitor to the Rainmaker IMO - which i agree is quite a nice sounding speaker for the money.
I will need to audition my next set of loudspeakers. Over the next few months I'm going to go by a few audio shops down in the bay area. One of them carries Dynaudio and totem. I will try to locate one that carries Audio Note.
1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter. Chambered.

Boy have I been waiting for this! ROFL! They have an aluminum dome tweeter, RGA! How can they be any good?;)

I haven't heard the Rainmaker but I have heard the Mani-2, which I liked a lot. I also heard the Sttaf which was pleasant but rather dull, no highs.
