| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? hey sounded exceptionally clean, with a black black background, but unexciting. My friend said they sounded like they were in an 'anechoic' chamber, which he meant sterile sounding without air or "aliveness".That's a pretty apt description of a sp... | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? I see a couple of potential trouble spots in the OP's original audition environment. One is that you'll generally get a better presentation by putting the speakers in front of the long wall, not the short one. Next, if you have to put the speakers... | |

| Still liking my PSB Stratus Gold i's No reason to "upgrade" from Stratus Golds. They do so much right, and are resolving enough to yield audible benefits with disproportionately priced upgrades upstream.My main speakers are also big floorstanding Canadians from the same era--Mirage M... | |
