Totem Forest, Devore super8 or Spendor A6


all are pretty much in same size range and aesthetically right for my space.
I heard the Totem Forests briefly they sounded great,
I read many positive reviews on the Spendors A6 and Devore super8 that really peaked my curiousity but have'nt heard them, dealers are hard to find in Ft Lauderdale.
I understand that choosing a speaker is a personal choice that said,
Is there a favorite among these three speakers that stands out?
Room size approx 20x19 high ceilings. Will be driven by an Arcam avr600, I'll also be using a sub.
Thank you
Roger

I would also add the Vandersteen 2CE Sig II to your list
At the same price or better made in USA with 4 serious Scan speak drivers, separate tricked out tuned Time correct crossover & multiple enclosures you will be ill if you miss these and care about your music.

Roger, "needs a face lift" what other product for $2500 has 4 Scanspeak drivers and premium parts throughout. The best you can do is a 6.5 inch two-way, sometimes of Chinese origin. Sorry you can't get intimate mid-range out of a 6.5 inch woofer, come to think of it, not much bass either. Spend your money on a cabinet if you will (or she demands) but I'd rather have full range music low in distortion.

(((My local dealer is asking $3,700 for the Totem Forest, I need to make up my mind whether I should buy used or new because I'm going to need a center, surrounds and a jl audio f113 sub to start, I have a paradigm seismic110 which is awsome but with my new set up will have to change it.))

Wow
For that kind of doe you could have a Pair of Vandersteen Wood Quatto 2s with powered stereo Bass amps included, 22 point room compensation Phase and time aligned performance Made in USA with trick drivers and great looking to boot.

Make sure you here all of what you are talking about
together can you imaging having to do this all over again?
