Totem Forest vs. Sonus Faber Home or Domus Lines

I've been listening to a number of speakers in the $2,500 - $3,500 range (currently I have a pair of Snell E/IVs with a Proceed CD Player, Classe amp, and Classe pre). My musical tastes range from Miles Davis Sketches of Spain to anything Smashing Pumpkins. Just no classical. Any advice on Totem Forest or the Sonus Faber Domus or Home lines? My room is 13*18. Thanks. Advice on other speakers in this range is also appreciated!

this one is tuff. they are 'all' well made and well designed (even your snells)and all all good allrounders. the forests get the nod. along with the castle harlech, they are my favorite 'current production' floorstander. a real hi-end speaker and a good buy to boot.

If your ceiling isn't too high, I would look into some used Cremona Auditors (around 3k). Try to audition these - they are awesome in the right room. I would also consider a used pair of PMC OB1s (under 3K). Quite different sounds, but both excellent speakers.

Thanks Jaybo and Newmanoc.

Newmanoc, I have not heard the Cremona Auditor's but I know they have a great reputation. I was a little concerned about the price, though. The Domus Concerto's are $3,450, and I thought that the Cremona Auditor's were way above that due to the cabinetry, etc. Do you own Auditor's? Where did you get that price?

Thanks
