Which Totem Speaker - 12'x14' room

Wow, I apologize for all the grammatical errors in the above response. Hopefully you managed to understand what I was trying to say.

I prefer the Hawks to the Forest, as they seem to have a bit more realistic midrange. But the Forests are still very good in that regard and have more bass weight, which matters if you like hip-hop and such.

Forest and Hawk can easily produce solid and transient bass down to the 40 cycle or lower. However, IMO, many Totem speakers would perform better with jazz, acoustic guitar, and vocal. That is the focus of the designers at Totem.

Forest may be the only Totem model that could do well with hip hop, rap, and rock. Rainmaker and Staff are also good with a variety of music genres.

Some Totem speakers (Forest and Rainmaker) have good bass extension but that is not their strength. Theirs is in the pin point imaging.

Just a side note.

Dynaudio speakers are very neutral and versatile and can produce the articulate bass that is second to none.
