I read a review of this new Totem speaker, The One, a 20th anniversary edition of the Model 1. New and better, I guess. Has anyone heard this speaker yet? My dealer can maybe get a pair for demo, but curious to hear thoughts out there.
My favorite Totem is the Forest...it can rival any speaker made given appropriate ancillaries and room size. I have owned them and the Winds and Hawks. Solid state is recommended to drive them.
Whatever subs you get, make sure you decouple them from the floor with a wood slab and anchor both the sub and slab with heavy brass footers...you will smile:)
The One's bass response is only 50hz, which is severely limiting for the enjoyment of just about any type of music. I've owned the Totem Winds, Forests, Hawks and home demo'd the Manni-2 sig's. Building a system around the Forests would give you all of the Totem magic plus full range sound and maximum dynamics!
