I brought home a pair of Forests over the summer to compare to my now departed VR2s. In the dealer showroom the Forest had plenty of bass and slam, but couldn't compete with the von schweikerts in my rather large (26X16) room. And the uppper midbass and midrange was not as full and fleshed out as the VR2s. I can see where the Totem would work pretty well in a medium sized room and I love the way they disappear, but they just weren't enough for my room.
