The M5s will provide greater detail and transparency than the PSB and Totem. I had the Dreamcatcher but I kept blowing parts of it up...LOL! You will not be able to blow the M5 up. My M5 brought an ADA-1000 to its knees and I fed it almost everything the ADA-1500 had to give. Ian told me to give it more but I was afraid I'd ignite it. Tons of dynamics.

I'm not saying the PSB and Totem are bad BTW. They are different. It's like the difference between the M5 and M3 or M3 and M2. The dedicated mid-range makes a big difference.

Let us know what you think. M5s are not only excellent, they are a great value. I am really curious how they hold up against the Arro soundstage and imaging.
