Totem Forest, Devore super8 or Spendor A6


all are pretty much in same size range and aesthetically right for my space.
I heard the Totem Forests briefly they sounded great,
I read many positive reviews on the Spendors A6 and Devore super8 that really peaked my curiousity but have'nt heard them, dealers are hard to find in Ft Lauderdale.
I understand that choosing a speaker is a personal choice that said,
Is there a favorite among these three speakers that stands out?
Room size approx 20x19 high ceilings. Will be driven by an Arcam avr600, I'll also be using a sub.
Thank you

Haven't heard the Devores, but have listened to the other two. My reaction is the Totem is a bit more hifi-ish - brighter treble with a less tonally accurate midrange. I found the Spendor A6 more neutral in the midrange.

My guess is if your main reference point is unamplified acoustic music and voice, you'd probably prefer the Spendor. If your taste if more pop/rock and a more "modern" sound, you'd probably prefer the Totem.

And, for full disclosure, I've got a pair of Spendor SP1/2Es from their classic range.
