In Reply to: thoughts on upgrading my Totem M1S posted by jimgrocecfp@hotmail.com on August 24, 2014 at 16:16:19:
...I have extensively and comprehensively reviewed (a) The One and (b) the Element Ember. I have indeed done comparisons to the M1S.Click on my moniker, go to my homepage. Search the tags for "Totem," and the tens of posts will show up.
If you keep everything the same, and then replace the M1S with The One, the treble will open up. This finally unlocks the air and space of the top 1/3 of the soundstage. It also has the effect of giving more breathing room for the mids and (upper) bass. Imaging becomes more discrete. And the bass range isn't as constricted.
The Element Ember is bigger than the M1S/The One, but is in a different league all together. With your Ayre gear, the Ember will shine. If you play, for example, OMD's English Electric, your guests will marvel at the tight, punchy, kick-butt reach in the bass. They will start looking for the mythical built-in subwoofer in the speaker stands.
In a 12x12 room, both The One and Element Ember will succeed. They can be close together, relatively near the wall behind them. They fire straight ahead, no toe-in.
