| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? I use my ears! | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money For almost all cables I would agree, except MIT. They have seriously improved signal transmission technology in their recent offerings. Most cables have slight variances in performance, but anytime I have used MIT cables, everything just sounded... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Ok maybe dunking them in water or putting them in a kiln would cause the Totem’s to change their sonic character. | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I get the self help, group therapy thing going on here but unless your deaf, getting even lower level MIT cables can offer truly amazing results. As I said, The Cable Co. let’s you try before you buy ! | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 I have owned many, many, many cables from both ends of the spectrum ($400 looms to $30k looms). What I have found, is that MIT cables have consistently allowed my system(s) to sound their best. They deliver everything they claim, but most of all... | |

| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Totem | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Ok Helomech the great...protector of things absolute! Within the normal standards of cabinet design, Totem makes their speakers far less susceptible to various environmental conditions. Their crossovers are special by virtue of quality and toler... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 You will discover for yourself mayor...or not. If you are happy, fantastico! If something sounds underwhelming, then you may need to try some cables. The Cable Co. in Pa let’s you try cables in your system FYI | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! The Heresy speakers were the only klipsch speakers I liked. Just too small for my needs. Also, the Dyn Esotar tweeters are pretty good as well. | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! Owned many brands of speakers with most of the tweeter types mentioned. I’ll take a metal dome please. The crossover has just as much to do with the sound however. Diamond is also very good. Most of the other types just can’t get the top end r... | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Listening room can change a lot as well as far as power requirements go ! | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Mapleshade wires are certainly musical and distortion free but they don’t quite give you the low bass weight and definition of some other cables. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Vince at Totem makes cabinets impervious to environmental variations. They are unique in the industry. He also makes crossovers like few, if any others do. | |
| Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures Plenty of power Schubert, you should be fine. 400 into 4ohms is definitely not overkill. I have a special relationship with my dealer, so not sure he could do as much off for you. Let’s just say $650 off should be a no brainer. My dealer was S... |
