Coincident Total Eclipses or Inner Sound Eros Mark

I had the Victorys too, Brulee. I tried everything to get the threadbare midrange corrected, and used amp after amp. They were just irritating to listen to. I finally got music out of them using a 12 watt Audion, which was a great match, but didn't solve the lack of bass the speakers have. The Victorys were definitely voiced using a lush SET type amp.

Another less expensive speaker I have considered is the Totem Forest. Have you guys heard these? I know that they are a smaller speaker. Do they have a full sound? How is the bass? How do they compare to the Coincident Victorys? Do youlike them better or not as much?
Thanks again,
Edward

I am an innersound eros MK1 owner who is going to upgrade to the Mk3 panels and amp. I have also heard the totem line. I love the eros and think they are a great speaker, albeight within the limitations of the narrow sweet spot discussed above. Plus the customer service from Roger Sanders at innersound is outstanding! I have also hear the totems and while many audiophiles like the totems, I found them to be a bit on the shrill side for my taste - (yes I was driving them with solid state equipment but it was good solid state equipment (levinson). If you can swing it, I would recommend the eros. And if you are worried about your amp driving the panels well enough, try it out. Innersound offers a 30 day home trial at no risk to you. If you have a good retailer, bring the amp to the store and demo it with the eros right at the retailer. I cannot comment on the coincident speakers. As always though, its your ears that matter.
