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 just heard the Hawks with the Krell & didn't like it.
Both the bass & the mid-heights were too extreme.
After a while the speakers were exhausting...

Unfortunatly the Forests were sold, so I'll have to go with a new pair.

Is it worth the $3.5K or should I wait for another used/demo?

Thank you all for you help !
Thed,
They're not worth $3.5k.
Look for the better deal.
I got mine in 2001 for $2200.
Realistically I'd look for no more than $2700 for new or clean demo.
Thed,

the Krell 400xi is a powerful amp it drives my power hungry B&w 803Ds

I wanted the Totems, the dealers were too far from me plus I got the B stock B&Ws at a great price i couldn't refuse

The Forests I bet, would be a great match with the Krell!!

good luck to you
