Totem Hawk vs. Forest

Thanks to all for your comments and advice. Unfortunately I am unable to listen to the Forest since the local dealer does not have them in stock. Your advice has helped me get a better idea of what I can expect to hear.

For those who chose Forest over Hawk, can you tell the reasons for your choice?

Thanks. I spoke with Vince since my last post and he recommended the Forest given my mix of equipment and music preferences. Based on his recommendation combined with the advice from other Totem owners in this forum, I ordered the Forest. Thanks to everyone for your recommendations and advice.

Latest update: It took a while, but I now have 60 hours of burn-in time on the Forest and still have a ways to go yet to reach the 100-150 hours as recommended by Totem.

Initially, the Forest sounded a bit harsh in the high-end with a narrow soundstage but now they sound much more refined, detailed with a wide sound stage. I really like these speakers. They seem to disappear in my room and I find myself just enjoying the music, which is how I think it should be. I've been listening to all my old CD's again and hearing things in the arrangements that I did not hear before with my old speakers.

BTW, I don't use the subwoofer when listening to two-channel music with the Forest. My subwoofer gets in the way of the Forest and muddies up the sound. The bass from the Forest sounds full, quick and tight and is more than enough for my listening tastes.

Thanks again to everyone for your advice on these speakers.
