Totem-The One/ Harbeth 7es-3

Has anyone compared these two speakers? What are their sonic similarities and differences? Other considerations are room placement, power requirements, component matching. Current room size 18x12x8 (speakers on the 12' wall). May be moving to house with 18x10x8 (speakers on the 18' wall) in the future.

Nolitan, since we're thread robbers all the time, what stands are you using? Well, come to think of it, the thread starter does need to think of stands whether they get Harbeth or Totem.

Chashas1,

thread robbers- good one !!
for stands, funny, harbeths are not super sensitive.
i've tried home made wooden stands, skylan stands , sound anchors & even the old atacama stands (all 20" heights), they work fine.
These speakers are quite forgiving. That's why i like them so much!!!

If I go with the Totems I will use my Dynaudio Stand 4. They are 24", which should be the proper height.

Hi Valinar
