I own a pair of three-year old Totem Sttafs and I really like them. I play a variety of music, at varying volume levels, and have never found them wanting or fatiguing. The bass response from the woofers, for their size, is amazing. I run the speakers using my CODA 10.5r SS amp, Mystere CA11 tube preamp, Manley Chinook phono stage, and Rega Planar 25 with Dynavector 10X5 HO cartridge. Speaker cabling is Mapleshade Double Helix with Plus Upgrade; Nordost Heimdall IC round out the system. Overall, very sonic indeed. The Totem Sttafs fit very well into this configuration.

Hi all,
Just auditioned a pair and loved the sound of Totem. Very simple, unique, and musical.
Q1: What's the guide line, or how can I determine which model to buy.
Q2: What's destine sound unique of each one from Arro, Sttaf, Hawk, to Forest, Model-1 and, finally, the Mani-2?
Room: 16' x 16' x 8' ceiling
Amp: 180wpc Anthem A5
Pre-pro: Anthem AVM-30
Music type: Jazz, classical, music concert, instruments, Michael Buble, Eva Cassidy, Katie Melua, etc.
Volume: Midium Low. Listening time normally from 1am-4am.
