thoughts on upgrading my Totem M1S

Posted by jimgrocecfp@hotmail.com on August 24, 2014 at 16:16:19

i have had the Totem Mod One Sig in my system for about seven years. I have enjoyed them and continue to like listening to them. However I constantly wonder about moving on to something with a bit more bass response. A few important points: 1. my room is small 12x12. I am able to sit about 7 feet away while still leaving adequate room from the rear wall for the Totems to image and stage which they do very well. I have carefully set up the system including Real Traps in the front corners and first reflection points. 2. I am using an Ayre AX7e integrated amp and will continue to use it for now. May consider a different amp at some point but not now. 3. Also have Ayre CX7eMP and use it a good bit, still like the way it sounds. 4. Also have a Thorens TD125, Jelco 750d, Ortofon Quintet Bronze, Aqvox phpno stage. 5. Listen to broad range of rock and jazz about 90% of the time. Occasional small ensemble classical. I LOVE clarity, detail, imaging and soundstaging. Would not want to give up what I have in these areas. 6. I suppose my goal for the upgrade would be to keep all of those qualities (or even improve them?) while adding some bass and a bit of dynamics. 7. based on reviews but no listening yet, I am considering Proac Response D18 or D2, Devore Gibbon 88, one of the Spendor Classic series (which one?) . Opinions?
