Totem Element Metal vs B&W 803d?

Can anyone comment on one vs the other?

I currently own a pair of Von Schweikert Unifield 3 speakers. While I like them and they work in an NYC apartment, I feel like there's just something missing in the low end.

I walked over to Stereo Exchange a few weeks back and took a brief listen to the Totem Element Metal and my first thought was that the sound was "bigger" in every way. I need to go back with some material to do an extended listen and also check out the 803D.

I don't have room for the 802D footprint, so don't recommend that :)

I supposed I'm open to other suggestions, too. Should be a similar footprint to the 2 I mentioned

amp is Pass x250.5

803D don't have the bass you desire and don't have bass your Unifield has.

b&w 683s might have more bass than my unifield 3

I auditioned the metal, 803 and Cremonas. Too me the 803 tweeter was too bright. It was a choice between the Cremonas and metal, I went with the Cremonas, as to my ears, the most accurate. I use a Mac MC205 for amp.

What is your budget? None of those speakers don't sound good to me either. They are well built and awesome but you are looking for more.
