Totem


Hi All:

I read a review of this new Totem speaker, The One, a 20th anniversary edition of the Model 1. New and better, I guess. Has anyone heard this speaker yet? My dealer can maybe get a pair for demo, but curious to hear thoughts out there.

Thanks!

Arch - "The One" was designed to push the parameters of what is possible from Vince's Model 1 design. What you get is a bit more of everything. The most notable improvements come in the form of an increased delivery of speed and transparency - with the speaker taking on a much more "tell it like it is" bravado. Although "The One" was never really designed to be much of a 'value component', I nonetheless feel that it holds its mettle well against competitors at its price point.

As for subs; good though as the Storm may be, its not fast enough to keep up with "The One". Look at subs from the likes of REL or MJ Acoustics, for solid matches.
Whatever subs you get, make sure you decouple them from the floor with a wood slab and anchor both the sub and slab with heavy brass footers...you will smile:)
