Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks??


Need to gather some input as to whether the Totem's HAWK speaker($3300 retail) is still a good value in terms of overall performance. The design has been around for over ten years with a few minor upgrades I heard the speaker several times and liked them.

Nevertheless, are speakers like the Usher BE-718, or Monitor Audio's Gold GX-100 which are monitors, (or even another small floorstander like the Hawks) going to significantly outperform them?? Welcome your input and experience with these speakers. Thanks

While I'm not a fan of the metal tweeters in the Hawks, ScanSpeak Revelator mid/bass drivers are very good sounding. I have the 5 & 7 Revelators in a couple of my custom designs and they are also used as midrange drivers in a couple of new big $$ loudspeakers. Check out the $27K Sony SS AR1 & the Wilson Sabrina @ $17K. BTW- the 7 inch Revelator was in the $18K Wilson Sophie 2. I agree with Dtc & prefer the sound of the older Sonus Faber Cremona & Auditors with the Revelator mid/bass drivers.
