Urgent - Totem speakers for Krell

Hi all,

I'm using Krell 400xi and looking to replace my speakers with either Totem Hawk or Forest.
I have an option for a 2 years old Forest (Demo), which I heard and liked a lot (but not yet with my Krell).
I can also buy a new pair of Hawks (which I didn't hear yet), for almost the same price.

I'd appreciate any feedback from people who auditioned both speakers (preferably with a Krell amp).

I hooked up my Forests with 300i model. They mated great but with higher power they will work even better.

I concur, any totem (floor or monitor model) works well with Krell amps. They deliver the Krell's wonderful bass authority with clean, tight resolution. In other words...the boom boom is nice.

No question about it, go with the Forest. The Hawk is a better match for warmer sounding components like Rega, Naim, etc...

I have had all their models from hawks to Sharmans.
I later found out that the Hawks have different drivers than the Forests,Winds and Sharmans. The best speaker for the money are the winds. They are two deminsional and have great bass but if their price is to high then go with the Forests. You will get the deal like the wind and later you can add a sub for the bass. Do not waste you money on the
Hawks.
