Office System -- Low Volume Speakers

I am looking for speakers for an office system. I am using a Vincent Audio SV-236 (100W/Ch hybrid) as an integrated amp--so I have plenty of power for this application. My source is a Polk Audio XRt12 XM radio reference tuner.

Particularly, I am looking for something that sounds good at low volumes and that is NOT fatiguing. I play the full spectrum of music, but mostly classical and jazz (as well as talk radio). Monitors would be prefered over stand mounnted, but I am considering Totem Arros.

I am looking for something used (or demo) under $750.00.

i have never heard or had a pair of totem speakers that were bright. if the arros sounded bright, there must have been some cheap hardware before the speakers.

the totem arros would be an excellent choice. i used to own them for my den setup in my last house. i sold them andwent with the totem taw in-wall speakers in my new den.

just curious, why would you think the mites or staff's would be a better fit? the arros will actually give you a more full sound than the mites. for a smallish bookshelf speaker, the mites are very nice, but the arros are just better all around. the staffs are in the middle of some outstanding totem speakers: arros and the hawks. if i wanted to save $$$, i would get the arros. if i wanted a pair of speakers that are fantastic for little $$$, get the hawks. also, once in a while you will find a pair of model 1's for < $700. buy them. i have owned them in the past and were excellent!
