Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?


OK, based on reputation, looks and good reviews I am thinking between these two for my bedroom system. Anyone know how these spkrs would compare?

Room is about 14x16 carpeted, amp is 30w/ch .... jazz, classical, mild rock

Soulbrass, I've heard the Arro's with a 25W and a 30W tube amps and I found it anemic compared to some of the more powerful amps I've tried. That's just my experience. Of course, that doesn't mean that all 30W amps will fail to adequately drive the Arro's, but from my experience some won't be up to the task, either.

The Arro's would be excellent for your purposes, but I don't feel that they could be adequately driven by 30 wpc. I suggest at least 40, and preferably 50 wpc (for a tube amp, anyway).

I haven't heard the Songbirds, so I can't provide a comparison.
