Upgrade to Totem Forest or Monitor Audio GS60?


I really like my Totem Hawks and Lightning subwoofer but they seem a bit small for my new (larger) listening room. The new room is 14' by 20'. I was thinking of upgrading to the Forest or maybe the Monitor Audio to help fill the room. Is the upgrade too small? Should I save more and get something bigger?

Thanks

14x20 is just a bit on the large side for the Forests IMO. Mimberman's post is right on. I know them in a room that is 14x17x8 and that was about as much as their bass can handle.

I think you should look into a slightly larger speaker that either of those. JM Lab Electra 926 would be a great candidate, or something of that size - assuming you want enough bass extension to create real soundstaging. Some people don't care about that in which case the Forests would indeed work well. Personal taste always plays a role of course.
