Which Totem speakers

I want to build a nice little home theater and I have chose Totem speakers for their reasonnable prices, looks and size.

I do however hesitate on which model to buy:

A set of Mite with a subwoofer
A set of Rainmaker without a subwoofer (to keep in the same price range)
A set of Dreamcatcher with a sub
A pair of Arro with mites and a sub etc..

tell me what you think

Receiver is a Yamaha RXV-1300 which I will probably upgrade to an Arcam AVR-300 in a near future.

Thank you

I helped a friend set up a system that used Arros for L/R main, and Dreamcatcher center and surrounds. We opted for a Velodyne SPL series sub. The Totems were driven by a Rotel 1056. IMHO, this system is truly exceptional for its price and size.

I would consider the Totem Staff too.I had the opportunity to audition Rainmaker,Arro and Staff at local importer.The
Arro had superb midrange and imaging and sweet highs too.
But bottom end lacked especially on rock music.Rainmaker was more punchy and quick but midrange was a bit dry and nasal.
Imho Staff combined the strenghts of both other models offering excellent sound from top to bottom and sounding good with all types of music,without need for a sub.

Speaking about Totems, which level of current speakers would be similar to the Rokk's that they use to make?

I am also looking at totems and hard not to love arros. I also hear that the Staf is the better HT choice, just not as enthralling in shock value of the sound out of that small box. Seems physically impossible for them to push much air.

PS 1 I have the Arcam 300 - highly recommended as are their high priced DVD players (sold ny DVDO)

PSS Center recommendations.

And Finally, anone compare to Von Schweikert system with VR2 base???
