best totem speaker

hello all, i own a pair of totem staff speakers that i use for two channel listening in a 15x25 open ended room i really enjoy my speakers, but im wondering what totem speaker is the most impressive all around (other than the winds. they are beyond my current budget)im open to column or compact speakers. i currently use a ss amp rated at 300 per channel and use a emotiva usp1, but would make a change to a tube preamp at the same time. any thoughts?thankyou for your insight and feedback.

This is wonderful info, thank you. Sorry to Moehoward for the hijack.

Chayro, thanks for your candor and first-hand experience.

My sense was about the same: Hawks maybe, Forests probably not...

I'd also be interested in the amount and kind of power it takes to make a given Totem model perform.

I have 50 tube watts, and I believe I can barely drive any of their floor models. I'd like to, though.

Chayro, thank you for the info. What do you mean by 'within reason,' in terms of db, do you think?

I've been told that both the Forests (which I'm very interested in) and the Hawks are too much for my 302brc Jolida (50w tube)...does that sound right to you?
