Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?


OK, based on reputation, looks and good reviews I am thinking between these two for my bedroom system. Anyone know how these spkrs would compare?

Room is about 14x16 carpeted, amp is 30w/ch .... jazz, classical, mild rock

Have not heard the Arros, but I had a pair of Salk's Songbirds that sounded wonderful, except I felt they are voiced for tubes, they sounded a tad "thin" in the mid bass despite the fact that I drove them with a warmish McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe Edition amp. To me anyway.

The Arro's would be excellent for your purposes, but I don't feel that they could be adequately driven by 30 wpc. I suggest at least 40, and preferably 50 wpc (for a tube amp, anyway).

I haven't heard the Songbirds, so I can't provide a comparison.

The Arros are a 4 ohm load - I drove them very nicely with a Naim Nait5 (30 wpc into 8 ohms); I miss that pairing!!! Your room size is very similar to mine.

As long as your amp can pass some current into loads that dip a little below 4 ohms, you'll be fine.

I have not hear the Salks but do hear nice things about them.
