Totem Rainmakers vs Sttaf

I'm putting together a HT/stereo system, and based on what my local dealer haa available, I've narrowed my speakers down to the Totems. I'd like to know if anyone has been able to compare the Rainmakers to the Sttaf speakers?

These speakers will most likely be paired with a NAD 763 receiver. I live in a small apartment, and so plan on not getting a sub right away, but will add it once I move into a house.

I listen to stuff like Jack Johnson, Paul Simon, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Radiohead...

Thanks in advance for any input.

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, the Hawk's are out of my price range. I'm comparing the two because, including the stands, they actually come out to very close to the same price. (About 1600CDN or 1300US.)

It was suggested to me by the sales guy, to put the Mite TC with the Sttaf's as the center, and to have the rainmaker center with the rainmakers L/R's. The rainmaker center is about 450 more then the Mite. Is there a noticeable difference? Is there any truth to 'matching' the center to the L/R's?

As for Sttaf vs. Rainmaker, it sounds like they are fairly close in performance, with maybe an edge to the rain. I will no doubt have to extensively audition both.

Thanks again.
