Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind

How do they compare? I am buying either a used set of Salk Encore 3 speakers or Totem Winds. I cannot make up my mind. I will not be able to audition either speaker. They are both about the same money used. Can anybody help me make a decision? I have BAT equipment and my room is 13 x 16. I am currently using Vonschweikert VR4-jr and they are very nice sounding.

lots of replies. not much help. In this hobby do you have to have an excuse to change? Manufacturers certainly say no. I could try the speaker upgrade possibility but I feel I just need to look at a different speaker.

thanks

If you're using BAT tube amps the Winds are probably not the correct choice.  Room is a little on the small size for them as well.  Not familiar with the Salks.

I'd rather look at the Salk's and agree they are probably better suited for your small room...I have Salk and Totem in the house, both are terrific, but not the models you are looking at...

You may not find members here making strong recommendations for lateral moves, or for the sake of just making a change. A personal decision, fwiw.
