| Powering Totem Sttafs and Rainmakers I've powered my Sttafs with many different amps and they all worked well. You don't indicate a budget range, but staying in the neighborhood of the NAD there are a number of options. I like B&K amps - and if you want to power 2 sets of speaker... | |

| YouTube Favorites to share. Here's another I like a lot. I search Youtube to find backing tracks to play guitar along with. This one is one of the great all time Jams:Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers - "Melinda" | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. I always though Cowboy Junkies is one of the best cover bands around (also one of the best Original bands) - here's some evidence:Cowboy Junkies - "Powderfinger"Cowboy Junkies - "One" | |
| Musical Sub to pair with Mani2 Sigs.. I'm using a Rel Storm III and it integrates nicely with my Mani's. . . . incredibly musical . . .The Mani's hardly need a sub. I cross it over at 30Hz, and it covers those deep bass notes only. | |
| amp for totem mani2 I generally agree with Meiwan - most critical is placement some distance into the room. I have mine on a diagonal about 3 ft from the wall - and they're about 7 ft apart (after a good deal of trial and change). I like the target stands - sand fill... |
