Totem Forest Speakers.....

Hello,
I recently purchased a pair of Totem Forest speakers. Now, I know these are capable of sounding very musical, clear, w/ a great imaging, and sound stage . I have about 70 hrs of listening and I am not getting them to sound the way they should. They are in a square 12 x 12 room and is not filling up the room w/ music and sounds a flat.

System is Krell 400xi.
Yamaha cd player.
Kimber Kable 8TC

Any totem owners out there that can help me figure out what is wrong? Any info is desperately needed!!

Thanks,
Matt

1. Don't spend any money yet, please

2. You need to really drive these speakers to break them in, that driver takes a LONG time (totem suggests 150 hours)

3. Room placement is the next thing to play with. Square room, tough. Try corner placement? 1ft is too close to back wall. Get these speakers out in the room. Try some mass loading. Point them straight ahead. You'll be surprised.

4. Your source is the weakest link right now, but that is the LAST thing I would mess with.
