Totem... Bass?

i am auditioning new speakers right now. bookshelves. i really like the sound of, heard the rainmaker and the totem wind. the wind was great but that was a novelty to listen to.... i don't want to spend much more than $2000 and am willing to go used. are there any totem's that have decent bass? the rainmaker's bass sounded fine but was very weak. thanks for the help.

All Totems I have heard have excellent bass FOR THEIR SIZE with the right amp.

Most also require a lot (120 w/ch and up) of power and current to bring it out fully also.

Love the Mani 2s but not cheap....

Totems have good clean bass in surprising quantities for their size I believe, but at least some of their models are smaller than many at similar price points and that is a handicap in comparison to the best speakers out there in regards to a fulfilling low end.

At competing price points, I think I would lean towards the PSBs as a better value overall, particularly in regards to having a fulfilling low end.
