Totem "Hawk" vs Totem "Arro" speakers


Need some input about the difference between the Totem Hawk and the Totem Arro, especially in bass response and accuracy. Is it worth the price difference??.... I have a 12X12 living, and tend to play it loud but not blasting, and have a MusicaL Fidelity integrated amp X-150 which is 80RMS. Thanks, Jim

Both are excellent speakers. The decision is based on your sonic preference and budget.

The Hawks have a fuller midrange and more bass. However, they are somewhat less forgiving with placement and don't image quite as well as the littel Arro's.

The Arro's are somewhat leaner in the low and mid-frequencies, although they do have surpringly good bass presence for such a small speakers. And they can image like nobody's business, as well as being largely insensitive to placement.

If you desire a fuller sound, I'd go with the Hawks. On the other hand, if you have limited placement options or you value imaging over bass and fullness, then I'd save some money and go with the Arro's.

Good luck,

Michael
