| Totem's with mid-power amplification? The hawks perform remarkebly with 100wpc. | |
| Totem Model 1 Sig with Sub or Mani 2 without a Sub The Mani-2's are better than the M1+Sub. The Forests are better than the M1+Sub Combo. | |
| Rainmaker, owner please tell me how good they are The Rainmaker is a good speaker. However, if you can swing for the model 1 do it. It is actually smaller in stature but of a much higher build and is a world class monitor. | |
| Myryad Just interested in what there 'house' sound is like, and their overall quality. | |
| Totem Forest, Hawk or Von schweikert VR-2's ? To elaborate on my previous post, the Hawks are much more cohesive and offer a smoother presentaton than the Forest. Bass is about the same however the Hawk seems to delineate bass lines better (possibly due to its superb integration). The Forest ... | |
| Totem Forest, Hawk or Von schweikert VR-2's ? I sell Totem so I will chip in. For music I would go with the Hawk. From a design standpoint the Hawk is the better speaker. The Drivers are higher quality and the design is one of the best in the Totem lineup. The Forest will play louder. | |

| integrated tube amp recommendations, with remote I once was so stubborn about remoite controls that you wouldn't have been able to convince me that I didn't need one. When I was in the market for an integrated amplifier I passed on a lot of good deals because they didn't have remotes. I now own ... | |
| LEAD SHOT OR NOT? non-odour kitty litter or 'play' sand work best. You can purchase "steel" shot from gun stores. I have heard a mixture of play sand and steel shot works nicely. I have personally yet to load my arro's with sand. I am afraid I will loose some imagi... | |
| Help a newbie on an entry two-channel system I am also a classical fan...everything from gregorian chant to modern minimalist compositions. I own the Totem Acoustic Arro's and in your size room they would be the ideal speaker for your musical taste. I am in love with my pair and I have no pl... | |
