Little Red Dot on Totem Hawks


I am getting ready to sell my Totem Hawks so I moved them from the living room to the kitchen to pack them up tomorrow, I just noticed that one of the Hawks is missing that little Red Dot above the tweeter. I must have smeared it off with my hand or thumb while moving it. Does this make a difference in the sound? Should I try and order a replacement from Totem?

Thanks all.

I was told it was for tweeking the tweeter, like a marigo dot....that Vince B believes in them. I'm just sayin...
I emailed Totem acoustics about the Red Dot, here is the reply from Stephen Libin, National Sales Manager for Totem.

Hi Bruce – Thanks for owning and enjoying Totem. I must tell you that I am quite the Hawk maniac myself! Don’t worry about the red dot, it simply means the speaker passed all QC checks and was fine to put into a box and ship out.

I would simply remove the dot from the other Hawk, and that way the 2 of them look the same.

If you really like the dot, please contact Nico at the factory and he’ll guide you to a replacement. His email is nico@totemacoustic.com

Thanks & Happy Listening!

Hey Chashas1, thanks for sharing. Any followup on your info? or the source thereof?
When I had my Sttafs years ago, I was told this was a 'Focus Dot' which should not be removed.

Nice to know this was B.S., as it sure sounded like it at the time!
I'm still waiting to hear back from Nico Bruzzese, Vinces's son? I'm hoping he can verify all this. I'll let you all know.
