Totem Forest, Zu Soul, or Superfly

I have the Forests in a medium sized room driven by PASS X-250, They chew up all of the 40 Class A watts pretty easily in that room. I would imagine they are a tough load for your tube amp unless you are generally a low level nearfield listener. I have been considering the Zu's for a new/future family room setup, but there's a lot of conflicting love/hate stuff if you search through forums. They seem to resell well, so if you bought used and decided you were in the hate camp, then you may not risk much. From all accounts they will be very different from the Totems, not lacking in volume but maybe in bass, you might end up getting a bigger amp instead....?

I'm not really clear on how much difference there would be between the Souls and Omen. I ordered the Omens.Looks like the same main driver and tweeter.
60-day money back if you're not satisfied and they pay return shipping, but that may be only on the Omen.

The Forest is a very musical speaker when coupled with the right amplification. They need a lot of power and you have been hearing only a fraction of what the speakers are capable of delivering.If you sort of like the Forests, I would upgrade the amplifier instead of switching speakers. If you choose wisely, you will really love the Forest.

FWIW - I agree w/Nbug. If you like the sound of the Forests, consider an amp change. I recently went from a JoLida 502B to Consonance Cyber800SE monoblocks (nominal change from 60WPC to 78WPC). It made a huge difference. The Forests benefit from power.

Sorry guys, but I have no intention of changing amplifiers. At the risk of stepping on some toes, I hate to say it, but, I am growing tired of uninformed people telling me that the 15 watt amps can't possibly drive the Totems. Something I guess you read somewhere, or deduced on your own according to their sensitivity specs. I wish you all could be here to experience the system blow your socks off. I am talking about real, in the room, live musical presence. Gee, should I have stayed with the 300 watt solid state monoblocs? No, they sounded like shit! And, That was even before I had the Totems. That was with the "hard to drive" Magnepan Mg 111A's. I was hoping someone out there might have some real, tangible experience to enlighten me on the sound of the Zu products. It scares me when it is said that the sound of their speakers make some people run as fast as they can from the room. What does that mean? Is it too hard? too bright? too grey? Veiled? lacking in tonal color? very fast and dynamic, but unmusical? Sorry, but I am a mature audiophile and it goes beyond cheap thrills for me. I want a product that nurtures my musical quest for years to come. So, if i am so happy, why would I want to change to another speaker? Well, I am an audiophile. I guess I can't help myself, I don't know any better!
