Shrink Totem 1's?
Hello
New here. I have a pair of Totem 1's which have been in storage for a few years, in order to get them to fit on my bookshelf I plan to cut them with table saw and take about 4" of depth away. These are rears and space is limited. I have low expectations on the outcome but I'll keep this post updated as what materializes with this project. PS these are about 5/10 condition so not too worried about the outcome. Also fronts and center are all Totem (in better condition). Wish me luck. Thanks
Oh wow thanks for the great responses. I'm totally rethinking this project. The JBL Classic l52 fit the space opting for the orange covers. Just can't see myself removing the covers while listening to them. These seem a little over priced but could work, any opinions on them? A few pairs on the net now for sale already broken in. If I go this route I'd want fronts to match.. My mighty Totems might end up in the basement listening room untouched. Decisions decisions.. |
I had Totem Model One Signatures, Center, and the standard Model Ones for rear channel with alloy tweeters vs soft domes, and used them for a decade. They are not good for this. They are designed for 2ch audio, inefficient, and dont radiate as well as purpose built units for this. There are other options better suited for rears. |
also @yogiboy I meant no hard-balling about 2 or 3 ways, I don't know much about speaker design. |
