small ish floor standers WAF 5-8K


I have an aging pair of Totem Forests. They have been wonderful speakers. If I were to upgrade, I need to keep the dimensions reasonably similar: 34-38" tall by 10-14" deep by 8-12" wide. I'm largely stereo music (all types) but speakers will also be used for TV/Blu-Ray. Thanks in advance for your recommendations. Price range is $5000 - $8000.

If you liked the Totem speakers sound then try to audition Dynaudio. I suspect that Totem Forest may use a copy of one of Dynaudio's drivers. Remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Totem had great success using Dynaudio high quality drivers (Totem One).
Hi Shadorne -- I read you many helpful posts with great interest, and thanks for the response. Well, your recommendation was right in line with my thinking -- in fact I have some very good experience with Dynaudio monitors in live sound and they were one of the first places I looked -- but the problem with their loudspeakers is none of them fit the dimensions that I specified above.

So far, I've come up with Coincident Partial Eclipse and Wilson Benesch Curves. Both very hard to audition due limited dealers...
