Totem Owners....

Nasaman...my input is let your ears and pocketbook guide you. I too liked the simplicity and sound of the Totems. I auditioned Hawks some years ago - really liked them but own Forests. Decider for me was a bit heftier bass from Forests. Can't speak to the other models. Some consider the Hawks more "musical" than the Forests. FWIW...my listening area is roughly the same size as yours and I have way less power from an all tube amp. I think you will be happy with either Forests or Hawks. Based on what others have said, maybe the Hawks would have a slight edge given your musical tastes and volume levels. Again, I think only you can decide. Have you visited the Totem Acoustic web site?...the FAQ might help with your decision. By the way...these speakers take a LOT of time to break in. Bass won't be there initially if bought new.

Can you bring them home for a audition,if you can not then I believe Ghosthouse's response applies 100%.

Never met a Totem I didn't like, and I have a bunch of them! This may be a bit off topic, but their inwalls rule this category!

Of course Zieman loves totem.

He sells them but doesn't disclose that fact here.

Again

I own Totem Forests and like them very much (they replaced Von Schweikert VR2s). I'm not sure you want these for medium-low volume listening. Maybe a different model in the totem line, but the forests sound best at higher volumes in my opinion and with the gear I've had.
