prof1, my Totem Signatures 1 's do none of the things you describe.
There are a hundred and one ways you can make do what you say they do upstream .

Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
I'm considering upgrading my medium size tower speakers. I'm unable to audition due to location so I've been reading a lot about various brands and models that would seem to suit me. Both the Totems and Joseph Audios are described as having very good quality components and workmanship; and as having a "holographic" sound. I think either one would work well in my space and with my amplification. Any opinions, suggestions or comments about one over the other are. appreciated.

shubert, Then you’ve received a golden sample where they deviated from their norm ;-) I’ve heard many Totem speakers over the years (local dealer has sold the line as long as I can remember). And they all had that same sonic signature. A perceptible dip and a spike in the upper mids/high frequencies. You can see how they have that dip around 4K and get a bit "spiky" at around 1K in both the measurements from Stereophile and Soundstage: https://www.stereophile.com/content/totem-acoustic-signature-one-loudspeaker-measurements https://www.soundstage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1855:nrc-measurement... I was able to listen to the Totem Signatures 1 ’s at my pal’s home and, yup, that’s how they sounded. As I said, it is a sort of attractive sound. I’m just too conscious of the "Totem sound" to live with them for too long. |
