Totem vs. Axiom $ per $


What's the best bang for the buck here. Being a Klipsch Cornwall owner, I'm intrigued by the size and weight of the 2 with qualty drivers. Is Axiom which is a direct ship from manufacturer a better buy $ wise. I know there are alot of Totem fans on Audiogon, so I'm opening a can of worms, but dollar per dollar, whats your Take???

When considering bang-for-the-buck don't forget the bang .

You don't mention the intended use here but , if you want speakers for music I don't think that Axiom is a consideration . While they are cheap and sound good for H/T , I use their center and surrounds , I don't think that their excessive highs would put them in contention for 2 channel music use . I offer these comments after owning the above plus the M60 floorstanders as the front L/R speakers . The factory does offer , upon request , 3 resisters of differing values to swap out for the tweeters . They are plugin connections , not soldered ! They detune or rolloff the highs . YMMV .

Good luck .
