Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro


These two Totem speaker models had more or less the same price, and it was natural to choose between the two when one was interested in the Canadian brand.
The Arro is still currently on Totems catalog but the Model 1 is only available on the Signature version, much more expensive.
I have the Arro (love’em) and I wonder if the Model 1 is superior, specially in the bass quality?

Does anyone have any experience in comparing these two models?

@marco1 , I found that also true. I have never been successful in putting any speakers close to the front wall, more than 85cm

In fact, the 1/5 rule, my favorite positioning starting in my room distance the speakers 100cm from the back wall, and it can be up to 115cm.

In the end, I believe that the distances are dictated by the room’s dimensions and acoustics characteristics The Model 1 bass delivery is very very satisfying.

@rongvk Didn't see your post directed at me until now and I've had issues posting and updating my account. Sorry, I have no information on the Bison monitors other than what's online. Here is one article if that helps:

@dz13 No worries. I wound up trading in the P3s for the new Bison monitors and have been running them for about a month. I'm happy with them. Thanks for the reply.
