| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Very interesting to me, jho2s. I have the Sim I-5 and am interested in the Totem Hawks. I heard this pairing at a dealer recently and liked it mucho. Earlier, I had emailed Totem about the pairing of an I-5 with either the Hawks or Forests, and th... | |
| Where to audition Totem, Epos NYC Bizarre, I was just at that store in NYC and found them to be very nice, laid back and not at all pushy -- two of three were there (owner and one other). Compared to the stores on the upper east side, they were much more inviting and laid back. I ... | |
| Totem Hawks/Forests - Upstream Components I asked the same question to Totem directly, or more specifically, if my Sim I-5 would be a good fit for the Totem Hawks & Forests. Here is the email reply:"Both the HAWK and FOREST would be comfortable with your room size and musical preferen... | |

| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Interesting discourse there Rumadian. Thanks. I am learning mucho, and glad I started this thread. From what I have read, there does seem to be agreement that the VR2s are relatively harder to place correctly, but easier to drive (and therefore ma... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Yeah, Robm321, I had also read several posts here and elsewhere that the VR2s were kinda fussy in terms of placement, relative to other speakers...I found it interesting to read from Rumadian that he felt the VR2s were "much easier on placement," ... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Thans Rumadian and Robm321. I appreciate the posts. It seems like I've narrowed down my selection to two recommended speakers, and yet there are always more...the more input, the better, so thanks again. - steve | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Thanks Matt, I appreciate the well-articulated reply...and suggestion on the Hawks. You hit several keys of mine on the head, speaking to synergy with my amp and source (and driveability, a potential concern I have based on some other posts I have... | |
| Questions on Totem Hawks & Von Schweikert VR2 Thanks all for the prompt and informed responses. Much appreciated. Interesting thoughts on the "volume" issue for the Hawks and the Forests. I contacted Totem, and they said that the Hawks would be a better fit with the I-5 than the Forests -- th... | |
| Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers? Wow, vandy's "in your face." I've never experienced that with mine, and have had them for 6 years now. I use a sim audio I-5 (ss) amp, and listen to rock, acoustic rock and trip hop. Interesting. Different strokes...- walkman | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used Sure thing, Robm321. I was actually thinking about this thread today whilest commuting with my Headamp AE-1, iPod, and Shure e4s...it sounded oh so good!- walkman | |
| Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max How's the base on the Triangles? I've read elsewhere that it's a relative weakness, but that these speakers are quite fast and dynamic.thx, - walkman | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used Robm321: Understood on head-fi (didn't realize, and yes, it's a bit daunting). I am glad that I helped. It "sounds" like you know your headphone/amp stuff, too, so I am glad to have been of service on the IEM end. I can also add that I have never ... | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used Sure thing, Robm321. Also, I'd say I know a bit about headphones, but still pale in comparison to some of the guru's over at head-fi know...that's really all they talk about over there, headphones, so sorry to beat a dead horse, I but highly encou... | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used Hi Robm321. No, I guess I would not say that. There are plenty of folks over at head-fi who are claiming "sonic satisfaction" with their e4s straight out of their MP3 players. However, I am not the only one over at head-fi who claims that (while t... |
