The Totem Acoustics Mani 2 Signature is a refined evolution of the original Mani-2, designed for long-term use with significant internal upgrades including new drivers, crossovers, and internal bracing. It features a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and two 6.5-inch polypropylene woofers arranged in an isobaric configuration, where one woofer faces inward and the other outward, allowing for deep, powerful bass in a compact cabinet. The speakers are magnetically shielded, ported on the rear panel, and have dual binding posts for bi-wiring. Finished in high-quality veneers such as mahogany, maple, cherry, or black ash, the Mani 2 Signature measures approximately 16.4 inches tall, 8.5 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, weighing 23 pounds each. They have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, sensitivity of 85 dB/W/m, and recommend amplifier power between 40 and 200 watts. The speakers are praised for their superb build quality, excellent imaging, natural and articulate midrange, stupendous bass power and authority for their size, and top-class timing and dynamics. They require a quality amplifier and proper stands for optimal performance. The Mani 2 Signature has been highly regarded in reviews for its musicality and ability to deliver a broad, deep soundstage with refined highs and well-articulated bass.
