Totem Owners....

Hi all,
Just auditioned a pair and loved the sound of Totem. Very simple, unique, and musical.
Q1: What's the guide line, or how can I determine which model to buy.
Q2: What's destine sound unique of each one from Arro, Sttaf, Hawk, to Forest, Model-1 and, finally, the Mani-2?

Room: 16' x 16' x 8' ceiling
Amp: 180wpc Anthem A5
Pre-pro: Anthem AVM-30
Music type: Jazz, classical, music concert, instruments, Michael Buble, Eva Cassidy, Katie Melua, etc.
Volume: Midium Low. Listening time normally from 1am-4am.

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.

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.

Nothing wrong with Totem's at all - excellent speakers - but for what you describe Harbeth's would better fit the bill.
