| Which speakers for top notch system i wouldn't call any of the revel speakers "lifeless". i would have to agre with Wvick that what matters most is how the owner likes them (personal preference). The best thing to do is see if you can bring a pair of each speaker home and audition t... | |
| Which speakers for top notch system i listened to the watt puppy 7 and sophia speakers at he2003 and they sounded very good. I also think that the Revel salons sound better than the watt puppy 7's and most other speakers for larger rooms. | |
| Loudspeaker - Amplifier Combination i have not heard your cables in any system before. I would demo a couple of different cable brands to see if they make a difference. try to use the same manufacturer for all of your cables. I have had many different brands (straightwire, cardas, t... | |
| Which speaker is better Jackmontreal, i still have a pair of ess heil air transformer speakers. I used these for over 20 years but they have been in a closet for the last 5 years. I really liked them. | |
| Loudspeaker - Amplifier Combination very nice speakers. i also own a couple of pairs of totem speakers. Totem speakers do tend to need more power than one might think. i don't have any experience with the cambridge audio lineup, but i do know that totems sound fantastic with mcintos... | |

| SONY SCD-1 vs the New Generation of Competition Handymnami: instead of modifying my sony 9000es sacd/cd player, i purchased a classe cd player with hdcd.

| SONY SCD-1 vs the New Generation of Competition I currently have the sony 9000es player and have listened to the scd-1 and the 777es models. IMO, Compared to quality stand alone cd players, the sony's can't compete in playing redbook cd's. In sacd playback, in video playback, they are very good... | |
| How would you rate ??? i have tried the audience, analysis plus, transparent, straightwire, audioquest, and cardas and went with bogdan. You need to try different cables with your equipment instead of relying on other people preferences. | |
| Totem Hawk 86 db sensitivity i would opt for the forests for that size of room. I listened to them at he2003 and they sounded fantastic. in a smaller room, i would go with the hawks. IMO, the totem speakers will need some power to do the speaker justice. I am not talking abou... | |
| Totem Acoustics Customer Service i have had a few emails going back and forth in the past with these folks and response has been good. I have also called them a few times and either talked to a rep right then or they called back usually the same day. give them a call and tell the... | |

| which speakers, under $2K used? deepseed, i am currently using the totem model 1's with a rel strata III sub in a 13x13x9 room for 2 channel listening. nice combination. if you already have a sub, try to listening to the totem model 1's, and totem tabu monitors. | |
| which speakers, under $2K used? listen to the totem model 1's, hawk, or forest speakers. I auditioned the speakers that you listed above (except for the spendor's) and purchased the totems. Very musical. If you want a larger floorstanding speaker, listen to the Revel Performa F3... | |
