Appearance of Totem Forest

I need some help with a serious WAF problem. We purchased some new Forests recently in cherry. The wood on each speaker (especially the sides) is quite mismatched. Vince at Totem says they match the fronts and that's it. I'm concerned it could affect resale value. Any comments?

A nice Audio Research VT-60 would mate well with the SP-6?

I don't see the Krell or Naim being an improvement over the Plinius, but I'm sure some Krell/Naim owners will disagree. ;)

Wow, you can't beat that for customer service. It's nice to see a manufacturer going to that extent to assure a customer's satisfaction.

Chaz,

I listened to the Forest for about 1.5 hours last year at a local dealer. They were being driven by the BAT VK-55, with excellent results. I believe the preamp was one of the BAT tube models, but I don't remember which one. They sounded fantastic, and did not seem to need any more power...at least for the volume I listen at. I ended up buying a different brand, but I could have been very happy with a pair of Totems. I would think that any quality tube preamp/amp combo in the 40-50+ watt output range would sound quite nice. Of course, more power never hurts... ;)
