which would you prefer personally, these or totem element fire V2? Thanks

Is the sub active? That would be good to know.

I personally preferred the sound of the Totem's on this comparison.

This is how I handle a $100 sweeper…

Thanks for the this video

I'm predicting it stayed. Beautiful amp.

Nice but not a good a/b - need seemless back and forth and best would be intricate sections played on one then the other over and over.

Constellation seems to come in for a lot of bad press, but I think that is generally unfair. Their amps have a lovely natural sound and offer reasonable value compared to other high end competition. Whether the new series 2 is a big step up compared to the previous line I have yet to hear them.

With bare hands?!

$90K per channel.

looking good,wear gloves next time for tubes

hardly shows the stand

c est l aigu des kin monitor?

Run mine with an AR LS28SE preamp and the Constellation Stereo 1.0 Amp and they should great. Also have stereo Rel S812's all from these guys.

Love mine. great soundm great bass.

Good sound,but Dali katch is better.

Totems... to my ears.

Found my next purchase

Can I use my Rolex as clawck.

What is a DAAAC. and this is bull sh*t.

I disagree newer doesn't mean better

Hunk of BS in one video. This is science and engineering, words like detail and depth are not used. A DAC is simply measured with an analyze and compared. Cables wow more BS. Also proven scientifically that they dont make any difference. CD transport, more BS, in the digital realm, a cheap DVD with a digital output is exactily the same. No They dont make any difference.

as per below....let's prove this with a Blind test Blind test Blind test!

The Morel's had to much sizzle on the top end. That room is pretty hard with no treatment but the Totems had a little warmer and fuller sound. The Morel's might be fine in a really damped room but in that room were just to bright and forward. The Totems had a little more punch and nicer to listen to.

Please don't waste your money! As an audiophile with over 50 years of experience, I can tell you with absolute certainty, you don't need a DAC, unless your current equipment is ancient (15+ years old), or just cheap crap, or maybe some combination of the two, in which case, you should just upgrade your core equipement. If the core of your system includes a modern, $700+ Surround AVR/Stereo Receiver/Integrated Amplifier, you absolutely DO NOT NEED a DAC, nor should you want one, unless you just like to waste money. Everything you need, you already own in your equipment. And if you think your new AVR doesn't sound "musical" enough, return it and buy a Marantz AVR. You're welcome.

I have the SMSL AO300 connected with usb to a PC. Can i improve it with an external DAC?

The best way is to smoke a lot of weed, my stereo completely disappears after a few pipes. Talk about transparent, wowee 😵‍💫

Have you verified all those things you say with blind A B tests?

Sensitivity of 89 is very efficient. The impedance is what we need to know

I have a pair of Totem Hawk and i realllly like them. Paired with a primaluna tube amp they can sing really well. I’d buy another pair of totem anytime!

The Morel spec to 35hz. Do they really go that low?

Thanks for all the info Luke. Love my system I got from you and Mike

I got the megallan duettos sw2 would love to hear the new ones.

Nice video, what are those isolation feet you are using with the ACS10?

Poor audio quality delivery.

While the particular model of REL subwoofer used in the 6-pack (REL S/510) is mentioned once in the video, I don't think it would have been too difficult to include the model in the video title or description. I started listening and thought, "Hmm, this sounds good. What model did he say these were?", then I went looking for the information in the title and description, to no avail. There's no good reason I should have to go back and listen to the video again just to find this information. Clearly, it's not intended to be a closely guarded secret. Please be more considerate of your community next time and include this kind of information in the video description so it's easy to find quickly.

The Morel recreates a more convincing acoustic. Listen to her voice. Also, the dynamics are more nuanced on the Morel - listen to the guitar strumming and the drum hits. The Morel tweeter is balanced a little hotter, but you gain better detail.

Totem seems smoother .. less sibilant in the video.

Totem had more body to me.

Is it to big speaker for the 18m² ?

I think you either need better recording equipment, room treatment or both. You can tell the difference between the 2 but they both sounded terrible to me. And it’s not the speakers fault.

Totem

I like your jam and style. I'd love to come back when you've sonically treated your room. At least a little. That set up and rig is amazing. It'd sound so much better without all those reflections. Every review is always about the room to some extent. The equipment it's in (50-75%- depending on who ya listen to.) , but let's be fair to space, accoustics, human hearing, and science.) Don't get me wrong, measurements arent the whole show EVER. But rooms are rooms and speakers doing what they do are going to sound different in every space. Please give your speakers the best chance at letting you know what they can do by treating your room. I know I'd rather spend 500$ on a new dac or whatver, but a decent room treatment will make your 5k system sound like a 40k system. (ask me how I know.)

Hello, I am trying to decide between getting the totem bison twin towers or the T+A Caruso s10 towers, which speaker has a better sound quality

Love your channel. Between the borea br09 and the morel avyra 633 towers, which would you say is superior in sound quality

Totem

Hard to really tell. Both were good. But the room seemed to make the sound very brittle. Both close and far miking and mixing would help - but then that would interfere with the demonstation.

Sounded similar to me and that's with listening with active speakers. I think the Triangle speakers sitting in front there would be sound much better, having owned the Comete 40th anniversary.

totems are the better sound here. Both are great sounding products.
