ive heard both extensively...the forrest is better all around, but depending on your needs ie. if your willing to give up the lowest octaves you find the model 1 to the the best choice, mid-range and up it at least as magical if not more so than the above mentioned speakers, and would be perfect in a small room...also consider power requirements...the forests are very easy to drive in a small room 20-30 watts would be enough, the model 1 and hawks need considerable more 100 watts or so to work well.
Totem Hawks vs. Forest
Hi,
I am considering the above Totem speakers, used in a 14x19 room. I listen to mostly jazz and some vocals. If anyone has opinions, or has compared the two, I would like to here what you think.
also... The articles I have read on the forest from magazines say that they contain a sea's tweeter and either and ATI woofer or dynaudio. The forest that I have seen contains a MB tweeter, and a Hi-vi research woofer. Was there a change to the forest, from when it originally came out.
System: Classe 301
