Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks??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

Agree with Lowrider57, even my Arro's benefited from a move from a Simaudio Moon i-5 to a Magnum Dynalab MD-209 and the extra power.

I listened to the Arro's, Staff, and Hawk side by side and picked the Arro's. Fortunately, the room was about as big and cluttered as my "listening room" aka bedroom, aka Home Theatre aka Office, so it worked out well. I will add the proviso that the Arro's lack bass, but what there is is very good.
