Don't count out the Totem 1s. They can sound small and "shut in" or "open" and dynamic depending on the amp you use. I don't know at what levels you listen, but run fullrange with subs in my medium room, anemic is not a word I would ever have used. Numbers don't really tell much about how the Totems respond to an amp, so this is something you may have to test run to know with yours. I know there are a lot of great speakers out there but I have a real soft spot for the Totem One sound.
Small Floor Stander or Monitor For Large Room
I have a 15x33' dedicated room that I am trying to get a smaller speaker in for better imaging, etc. I have the bass region taken care of to around 70hz.
I am looking for a small floor stander or monitor that will be able to fill the room with sound while maintaining excellent soundstage/image and still creating as much dynamics as possible, without sounding forward.
I currently have a pair of Silverline Sonatas that sound like I want as far as dynamics and warmth.
I am looking at Silverline 11,12,15,17 series, Totem Model One, Arro, Hawk, Forrest
My system is Wadia 850 GNSC, Acoustic Reality 1001 monos, Wygerzyn silver wires.
Thanks in advance.
