Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind


How do they compare? I am buying either a used set of Salk Encore 3 speakers or Totem Winds. I cannot make up my mind. I will not be able to audition either speaker. They are both about the same money used. Can anybody help me make a decision? I have BAT equipment and my room is 13 x 16. I am currently using Vonschweikert VR4-jr and they are very nice sounding.

If you're using BAT tube amps the Winds are probably not the correct choice.  Room is a little on the small size for them as well.  Not familiar with the Salks.

Sometimes its as important to listen to the don't than the do's. For example, as mentioned before, the Winds in your size room probably would not be the better choice. YMMV but I doubt it.  Why by the way are you considering such large speakers?  With either speaker you mention I think you'll have a problem taming the bass.
