| Is a subwoofer 'overkill?' Sounds like it's not set up properly. Possible that:1) the crossover point is set too high so that it is doubling up frequencies already output at good volumes from your main speakers2) the volume is still set too loud3) the placement is badI rece... | |
| Totems without Claws? Good looking, small, furniture quality towers - same set of requirements I had then. Guessing your price range from the original post and not knowing your other equipment, musical tastes or room dimensions, you might want to look at the Quad 22L, ... | |
| Totems without Claws? Lots of really good speakers in this price range other than Totems and Thiels too. I auditioned a bunch and had a hard time deciding. Totem, Thiel, Vandy, Revel, Von Schweikert, Dali, Proac, Vienna, PMC, etc. The best of the bunch I think by far a... | |

| FLAC, WAV, RAW, AIFF Download Sites? Thanks for the responses. I have checked out several sites and there are very few higher res downloads available - mostly lossy compression stuff. Too bad no one has put together a decent download site for audiophiles where you can get a lot of st... | |
| Two Subs Vs. One Thanks for all the advice - really appreciate it - it's always interesting to hear several logical yet contradictory and often mutually exclusive opinions on audio topics - part of the fun really. I decided to start my sub experience with a single... | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please I have a very similar room set-up and bought the Totem Hawks - I auditioned the Arros in my room and they were just too small - the bass got lost in the second story. The Hawks are better but not perfect. I kind of wish I'd spent a little more mon... | |
| Totem Hawks/Forests - Upstream Components I have the Hawks driven by a Classe CAP-150 integrated. They are considered very musical speakers with no dryness/harshness to them - also not the most senstitive - so that seems to favor solid state. Was also specifically told by my reputable dea... |
