Replacing Forests???
Will do! I listened to them in an HT environment before at my dealer and they seemed to have no qualm about it - playing a LOTR DVD. It wasn't until I read that notice that it concerned me. I have an email in to Totem regarding the use of the Hawk... 
What amp for tad-150 and totem arro+lightning sub?
I enjoyed powering my Totem Arros with a PrimaLuna Prologue Two in a small space. Moving to a larger space, I have moved up the Totem line and have found the Simaudio I5 to be a nice complement. Perhaps a W-3 would be a perfect complement to your ...

Prima Luna 1/2 or 5 for Totem's Mite??

Help Totem Forest
Right is Red. The marking is hard to see on the Forest. It's not on the posts, but on a plastic 'washer' inset into the wood at the base of the post. If you look closely, you will see red to the right and white to the left. 
Prima Luna 1/2 or 5 for Totem's Mite??
I ran my Totem Arros with a Prologue Two in a small room and the sound was absolutely fabulous! If your room in not 'large' I would highly recommend you giving the Two a shot with your Mites!
