Totem Hawk vs. Forest


I am considering either the Hawk or Forest loudspeakers to replace my current setup. What are the differences/similarities between the two models?

Thanks...

Congratulations Icsi, please let us know how you like them. I don't know what kind of following this speaker has here, but I've gotta believe it's a real contendor. Please update us all.
I just hooked up my Forests yesterday, huge sound from a diminutive cabinet. Break in will occur in the next few months, but right now I'm very pleased. I love them, go and hear for yourself, my decision was based on quality of sound. The Forest is a speaker to be respected.
Forest because of base response, power handling ability and overall just more musical, I will never look back on this one. I challenge you to contact a dealer and ask them directly even if they are not in your area. Simply call Totem directly and they will give you dealers in your part of the country. I realize that some dealers may direct you to the more expensive unit, however, once a relationship is established, I believe a good dealer will direct you to what's best for you. Bottom line, dealer input, Audiogon message boards and personal auditions are the three areas to gain info on such an important decision. Good luck!
