totem model 1 owners

i had mine 4.5 ft from the back wall and 3.5ft from the side walls. very little toe-in with target 4 pillar stands filled with sand. i also used odyssey stratos monoblock amps. i also used a rel strata III sub. check out the cardas website to get some insight on where to start the placement of your speakers.

rel recommends using your main speakers full range with no crossover in the low freqs. the only time i would want to crossover at the lowest freqs is if i was going to crank the volume. in normal listening sessions, you would run your model 1's full range anyway. there are many subs out in the market, but very few match the quality of REL. for stands, i have always used the target 4 pillar filled with sand. they look good and are built like a tank. they weight about 150lbs each with all of the sand installed.
