I'm convinced the NADt753 is the way to go for me, but am also looking to move up from my Def Tech Cinema 80's. I really want to stick with smaller speakers. I've been considering Totem--possibly the Rainmaker, but also considering Mite-T's. I've got a smallish living space and really want something that can be wall mounted. Anyone on this board familiar with Totem or have other suggestions I should be looking to pair up with the NAD?
I spent this morning auditioning the DreamCatcher system and I was pretty impressed. I also listened to the Mites, but they didn't have the Rainmaker in stock. Obviously, the Mites are better than the Dreamcatchers with their larger mid/woofer and soft dome tweeter. When I get my 753 in (I was hoping UPS would bring it today), I intend to take it in to try it with the Totems, so I will let you know. First impression is that it will make a great system and the price of the Dreamcatcher system is very attractive.
Good alternatives to the Totems include the NHT SB-3s, Dynaudio Audience 42Ws, NHT L-5s, and the KEF 2005.2 system.
