Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker

I am seeking to upgrade my current loudspeaker which is the Marin Logan 11A impressions.  Has anybody heard or have any experience with the Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker which retail for $18,500.00 per pair.

My current system consists of the following:

  1. Martin Logan 11A Impressions (hybrid electrostatic)
  2. Bryston 4b3 Cubed power amplifier-300.channel into 8 ohms.
  3. Bryston BD-19 power amplifier
  4. Lumin U2 mini streamer with s Booster power supply.
  5. SVS subs SB-4000 (pair)

I am seeking a speaker with more slam and dynamics. 

The Totem was recommended to me.

Thank you.

I have a 18L' (front to back as referenced by the speaker axis) x 36W with a 11' high ceiling.  I went with the Fire V2's instead of the Metal's and paired them with a pair of SVS subs.   I did this for both cost and placement concerns.  

The one thing these speakers do better than ANYTHING I heard at Axpona last year... was imaging, especially with many of the demo folks walking back/forth in front of the speakers, and never seeming to loose the soundstage.

They play sufficiently loud for my room, but have a punch and presence that well exceeded my old Golden Ear Triton 2's.  (Subs are necessary though)

I received an email message from James Dalto who asked if I live near Long Island. I live on Long Island. I requested information with regard to the Totem Element Metal V2.  Thank you for the message but I was not allowed to respond via a reply message to you,  as I have not sold any products on Audiogon.   Ken

Hi Ken, that was me. I sent you another message if you wanted to listen to the Metal V2s. I’m also in Long Island and have a hunch we know the same person, who actually recommended the Fires because I was originally interested in monitors. I had them for a few months and then moved to the Metals.
