THE LISTENING ROOM
The Totem Mani-2 Signature
It was 14 years ago that this astonishing loudspeaker wowed us. Now the Signature version does it again

The Elac 204 Speaker

Castle Richmond 3i Speaker
It looks rather like the superb (but no longer made) Castle Eden, only with both dimensions and price tag scrunched down
