KEF R3 or Totem Signature One


Hi folks,

Looking to purchase bookshelf speakers for a smaller room and have narrowed it down to the KEF R3 and the Totem Signature One as I can get a pretty decent deal on both. I'm very familiar with Totem as I've owned the Hawk (twice) and Forest. What can I expect from the R3? Looking specifically at bookshelf speakers and powering with an Arcam SA20 integrated. Room is 12X15 with 10' ceilings. Will either or both of these over pressurize the room? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’ve heard Arcam is a pretty good match for both and it sounds great with my current Hawks and they like power. Moving to a much smaller room my young children don’t frequent. Hawk over pressurized it.
The Hawks I had have really boomy bass in that space hence I'm going with bookshelf speakers. I'd like to move everything into one of two other spaces but they are both areas my children frequent/play in and my daughter is a little too curious. They never go into our office so I should be ok there.
