Little Red Dot on Totem Hawks

I'm still waiting to hear back from Nico Bruzzese, Vinces's son? I'm hoping he can verify all this. I'll let you all know.

I was always curious about this dot. I asked the A'goner I bought them from about 4 years ago. He didn't know the purpose but "don't remove them!" So it all has to do with the version? Hmmm thanks for the info.

I emailed Totem acoustics about the Red Dot, here is the reply from Stephen Libin, National Sales Manager for Totem.

Hi Bruce – Thanks for owning and enjoying Totem. I must tell you that I am quite the Hawk maniac myself! Don’t worry about the red dot, it simply means the speaker passed all QC checks and was fine to put into a box and ship out.

I would simply remove the dot from the other Hawk, and that way the 2 of them look the same.

If you really like the dot, please contact Nico at the factory and he’ll guide you to a replacement. His email is nico@totemacoustic.com

Thanks & Happy Listening!

Thanks Brf, if you've never seen a Red Dot, only Blue, then your explanation makes more sense. Blkadr, I think it is the general public that likes to believe in chicanery. I've read that the Beaks work but I've never heard of Acoustic sculpture or shipping ballast.
