Little Red Dot on Totem Hawks

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.

If you contact the guy in charge of Totem Tech support you will get a different answer than the one your received from the sales guy. The dots do denote quality control from a tweeter matching perspective and they also denote different tweeter versions and productions runs. In a sense it is about quality control in the context of speaker matching components.

It is okay to move the dots since the speaker's makeup/version is recorded by the serial number.

Totem speakers sound too good, why the chicanery ? Have to admit, I just wanted to use the word chicanery. Now, what about those beaks? Acoustic sculpture? Shipping ballast?
