Revel "F-30" vs Totem "Forest": Better perfomance?

Has anyone either owned or conmpared these speakers?? IYHO, which is more "musically" satisfying and involving. It seems from various comments from the membership, the Totems sound better. It is interesting that you rarely see Totems up for resale.... I play a lot of 60's classic rock, big band and fusion jazz. I have an Aragon 4004Mk2 amp and CJ PV-8 tube pre-amp....also a medium to large room. Need input on the performance of these speakers.

I auditioned both, and ended up with the Forests, though the Revels were impressive, indeed. The bottom end of the Revels was a little better, but I preferred the Totems overall. Ths soundstaging in particular, was impressive.
The Revels are a larger speaker, and the Totem's smaller
size was better-suited to the area of use. I also the
the cabinetry of the Totem was noticably better. It was a tough choices. An Aerial model was also right there in the mix.
