| Replacing Forests??? Fascinating, but helluva story. Sorry for the legwork you had to do, it must have been quite annoying -- I can see why you'd not want to bother with the Forests, let alone any other speaker from the company, but you seem to be pretty mellow about ... | |
| Advice on a speaker purchase Thanks milpai. Funny to me that you make a headphone analogy. I'm a big user of headphones both at home and portably.AP Yara...Yes, I have read that their bottom portedness makes them location flexible...They are definitely worth a listen. Strong ... | |
| Replacing Forests??? I don't have any suggestions, but have some questions (!). What happened to your Forests that you had to replace them 3 times in six months? That seems like a lot. Also, how well did your I-5 drive the Forests (I have an I-5 and am considering Tot... | |
| Advice on a speaker purchase Funny milpai, yeah, I double dipped. I appreciate your suggestion, too. Any concerns about the fact that I can only have the Quads 18" from the back wall? I have read others says they really need to be 36" or so from the wall or otherwise they are... | |
| Advice on a speaker purchase Clarification...Totem said the I-5 would do well with the Forests at "medium/high volumes, but maximum dynamics would not be reached." There, that's better. - walkman | |
| Best cables for Simaudio Moon system?? I have an I-5 integrated and a Nova and use VHAudio pular interconnects and am quite pleased. - walkman | |

| Advice on a speaker purchase Thanks Georg3 and others...I was concerned about the ability of my I-5 to drive the Forests, but you say that they should work well with my gear. Have you heard the Forests driven by the Sim I-5? Totem says the I-5 would "do well with the Forests ... | |
| Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical??? If you have not already done so, go to head-fi.org, the folks over there talk 95% headphones and you'll get rapid and nice opinions that are highly headphone oriented. Senn HD650, I don't have, but my buddy does and from what he says and what I've... | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Very interesting...thanks for the verdict on this...It does not seem like you've had any concerns about the ability of the I-5 to drive the Forests...- walkman | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Thanks so much for the detailed explanation, Rumadian. I think I get it now...appreciated. - walkman | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Very interesting Baroque_Lover. Keep the impressions coming...thanks, - walkman | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk I'm still a little perplexed by this kinda statement:"The Hawk is inefficient so you will need an amplifier that sports high amperage and a watt minumum of around 60 per channel. The Sim I-5 is an excellent 'budget' piece of equipment for the Hawk... | |
| Totem Model 1 Vs. Hawk Hi upstateaudio. So, what exactly is "a lot of current" to drive the Hawks? I contacted Totem to inquire about my 70 wpc I-5's ability to drive the Hawks and they basically said they are ideally suited to drive the Hawks. I then went to a dealer a... |
