If you go with 1 foot you'll squash a lot of life out of them. If you can position properly, both are excellent choices.
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
I'm considering upgrading my medium size tower speakers. I'm unable to audition due to location so I've been reading a lot about various brands and models that would seem to suit me. Both the Totems and Joseph Audios are described as having very good quality components and workmanship; and as having a "holographic" sound. I think either one would work well in my space and with my amplification. Any opinions, suggestions or comments about one over the other are. appreciated.

larstusor, For your guidance, I have the Totem Forest Signatures and love them. For more current insight please visit the link below. Kindest regards. N https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/totem-acoustic-forest-signatures |
shubert, Then you’ve received a golden sample where they deviated from their norm ;-) I’ve heard many Totem speakers over the years (local dealer has sold the line as long as I can remember). And they all had that same sonic signature. A perceptible dip and a spike in the upper mids/high frequencies. You can see how they have that dip around 4K and get a bit "spiky" at around 1K in both the measurements from Stereophile and Soundstage: https://www.stereophile.com/content/totem-acoustic-signature-one-loudspeaker-measurements https://www.soundstage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1855:nrc-measurement... I was able to listen to the Totem Signatures 1 ’s at my pal’s home and, yup, that’s how they sounded. As I said, it is a sort of attractive sound. I’m just too conscious of the "Totem sound" to live with them for too long. |
