Hi,
Having owned several Totems and the 3As, I personally would prefer the Ref. 3As to most any Totem, but I'm not sure they are a great speaker for the music you list. I found that they were best on classical/jazz/blues, less so on classic rock. However, I use a tube amp; I've heard the de Capos with an I-5 and was impressed, unlike most SS gear and the 3As. I believe the 3As are highly revealing and will emphasize any shortcomings in your system. Good luck,
