This is a tough one. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I own the forests, and my best friend owns the Hawks.He uses tubes with his and I use SS amp and tube pre. The forests will play louder but the Hawk has some magic in them. With the room size you have I believe I would go with the hawks unless you like to listen at higher levels, then the forest would be the way to go. Good luck.
Totem Forest or Hawk -Help
I am intested in purchasing a pair of Forest or Hawk
speakers. Speaker placement is not very optimal in the
room. Room is 13x15,with 11' vaulted ceiling. Speakers will have to be located on the 13' wall, with
one speaker in corner and one next to a bookshelf.
I don't have room to move the speakers out into the
room though. They will probably be placed with only
about 12" between front wall and rear of speaker, 6-10" from sides.
Equipment is McIntosh MC252 amp (250W, SS) and C-42
preamp. I am currently using B&W CDM7NT speakers,
which I don't have a problem with, just want to get to
a higher level, more refined sounding speaker.
Thanks for any help.
