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.

I don't know the Totems, but the Merlin VSM series comes to mind as a fine choice for your stated needs - so long as "blue ray/TV" doesn't mean high spl earthquake reproduction from the soundtrack of your action movie.

with your budget I'd say check out the Devore Nines right at your max height requirement.

The Nines....
Frequency Response:29Hz -40kHz
Sensitivity: 90.5dB/W/M
Impendence: 8 ohms
Dimensions: 38"Hx8.5"Wx14.5"D
about $6500US

the Super 8s are shorter and less deep...
Frequency Response:36Hz -40kHz
Sensitivity: 90dB/W/M
Impendence: 8 ohms
Dimensions: 34"Hx8.125"Wx12"D
about $4500US

BTW, I use my Super 8s for 2 channel music and as part of a 5.1 HT. Sounds great. havent heard the Forests though, so can't compare. But the totems appear to be less expensive.

good luck.
