Every time I read about this spkr company all I see is glowing reviews - especially the forest. Even in the recent HFC spkr shoot out the hawk did very well. Looking at the totem configs they tend to be on the smallish side, but are quoted with some ridiculously low bass specs (I know all about meaningless measurments etc - but quoting 20Hz is a good marketing ploy). So my assumption is that being small they tend to suit better the english living room norm and they use good drivers (is that a scanspeak in the totem hawks as used in sonus faber and krell Lats? - i'm probably wrong but its got the swirly drivers). Anyone with Totems on this forum - how would they likely compare with a standmount (I'm thinking small floorstdr versus stand mount) say Hawk versus Wilson Benesch Arc, or B&W N805? Can you tell I'm looking for spkrs? I heard the new audio physic tempo5s at Heathrow and wasn't that impressed - too lightweight for my tastes. This is important cos I need to spunk my hard earned cash on my spkrs before xmas!! This will decide which the likely dem candidates will be. Also WTF is that sticky label on the Totem tweeter surrounds? I've never understood why, it also puts me off Totem a little if they do wierd shit like that.
