Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker


I am seeking to upgrade my current loudspeaker which is the Marin Logan 11A impressions.  Has anybody heard or have any experience with the Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker which retail for $18,500.00 per pair.

My current system consists of the following:

  1. Martin Logan 11A Impressions (hybrid electrostatic)
  2. Bryston 4b3 Cubed power amplifier-300.channel into 8 ohms.
  3. Bryston BD-19 power amplifier
  4. Lumin U2 mini streamer with s Booster power supply.
  5. SVS subs SB-4000 (pair)

I am seeking a speaker with more slam and dynamics. 

The Totem was recommended to me.

Thank you.

I have a 18L' (front to back as referenced by the speaker axis) x 36W with a 11' high ceiling.  I went with the Fire V2's instead of the Metal's and paired them with a pair of SVS subs.   I did this for both cost and placement concerns.  

The one thing these speakers do better than ANYTHING I heard at Axpona last year... was imaging, especially with many of the demo folks walking back/forth in front of the speakers, and never seeming to loose the soundstage.

They play sufficiently loud for my room, but have a punch and presence that well exceeded my old Golden Ear Triton 2's.  (Subs are necessary though)
