New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers

Never heard of this brand before, they say these speakers are better than the Magico M6's and M9's and the Audio Note speakers too at around $15K USA

Totaldac

 

'They' say lots of things. Perhaps they are the best thing ever. Or something.

Pretty pedestrian looking, frankly, which is less than great for the money asked. Can't see Magico or Audio Note has much to worry about, given the client base.

BTW, TotalDac has been around for some time, on account of their DAC designs.

 

I say you should send me all your money. The question is: will you believe me?
My thoughs based on appearance:
- Yeah they're probably loud, and I'm guessing they sound decent to blast rocket music.
- The ports look like they are designed for appearance...which doesn't mean they don't function well but color me a bit skeptical.
- Likewise the horn, I'm more into smooth internal profiles. Those hard angles inside inevitably generate internal reflections and the outside termination is not flush. Again that doesn't mean they sound bad-but that's a small horn compared to the size of the woofers.

 

Very tube friendly specs.

 

Mono And Stereo Magazine is going to review these speakers soon
They have some Magico m6's and other high-end speakers there

Mono And Stereo Magazine has some Bayz Audio Counterpoints some of the best speakers ever made to compare to the Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers !

 

Funny, I've never heard of Bayz Audio Counterpoints, or of Mono & Stereo Magazine, for that matter. But hey, I'm a pedestrian plebeian...

 

RHAPSODY Audio in New York has Bayz Audio Loudspeakers

 

Never heard of them, either. However, the way things are going with hi-fi retailers here in NYC, they may not be around for long. They're dropping like flies. Thanks Covid.

 

@highendlover, are you the same person as highend666 that posts about Totaldac speakers at audiogon?

 

I haven't auditioned the Magico's or the Totaldac speakers. Based solely on the info they have in their sites I would choose the M9 everytime, if I had the funds and the mansion to put them in.

$15K for a passive 2.5 way speaker? I thought Klipsch was expensive...

 

Here's a really good review on these speakers !
Maybe they will be a Dealer here in the USA soon
