The Totem model 1 Signature has solid bass.

You want solid, serious bass try the Totem mani 2's....then you would really need some watts!

Has anyone of you guys an idea if the FM/DAB-module may "spoil" the sound of the n-Vi (high frequencies...) ?

The Model-1 is not that easy to drive. Certainly I'd not be happy driving it with less than a 200.

Tuan, I can recommend the SPL800i or better.

I am not familiar with the model you suggested do you have more information on it? The Totem Model 1 Signature (purchased used) in Canada is not expensive, they cost around 1500 Canadian a pair which is quite affordable and I found that they sound quite good with the Bryston 4B-SST.

Tuan,

The Model-1 Signature is a lovely speaker indeed. The only thing is it likes its power so it's a good thing you have that nice big Bryston.

Sorry, I meant the Velodyne SPL800R. It's a dinky little sub with just an 8 inch drive unit. It also has a simple version of their room EQ software which works quite effectively. The cabinet is a perspex box with rounded edges. It's really strong and since it's built in just a couple of pieces, it has great integrity and little sonic signature.

The amp is a class D 1000W RMS affair. Frequency response goes down to 26hz (-3db). You need an SPL1000R for 23hz or and SPL1200R for 21hz.

Due to its small size and effective performance, the 800 is their best selling sub here in the UK. It's a fine sub which works very well and which has no obvious character of its own.

Of course if you want crazy with the very best room EQ technology available, you'd have to look at Velodyne's DD range. The DD-10 or DD-12 are amazing subs. Even the little DD-10 goes down to 18hz (-3db), and they have a far more sophisticated room EQ program built in.

Thank you Frank. I think the SPL800R will be ideal for me.

does anyone know if thn n-vi is multi region, am going to have a listen to one today
