YEs, the right amp for many Totems is very powerful ones that deliver lots of current. Class D is a great choice to avoid size and bulk and possibly expense.
I've heard Arros perform superbly well away from walls however bass levels will be more problematic most likely without wall reinforcement. THe drivers are very good and punch well above what one might expect for the size (with the right juicy amp) but they are still small and small always has limits in larger rooms.
Also I question teh premise that Totem is not "musical". THat's a very subjective statement. Some may like other sounds better and vice versa for sure, but I do not see very many Totems for resale considering the companies extensive dealership channels in North America and numbers that must have been sold accordingly. Plus, they seem to hold their value fairly well compared to a lot of the competition, although brand recognition is likely a big part of that.
Totems I have heard in general typically make the list of speakers that I think I could live with.
