Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler
Can anyone with Totem experience comment on this:I've only heard Totmes at shows and they have always been extremely impressive. But Vince has always had them cranked up LOUD. How do Totems (Hawk, Forest, Model 1 Signature, Mani-2) sound at low vo...

What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles?
