Fabulous speaker that sounds bigger than it is and capable of playing low bass down to 40hz if not below.. The woofer is a scanspeak revelator, arguably their best, and the tweeter is a higher end vifa. Not sure about power handling and their ability to play very loud - they are on the low sensititivity side so you need a robust amp = maybe the QC issues you have heard may have resulted from too many people playing them with unfit amplifiers.
Totem Hawks
I've not yet auditioned these speakers, but have heard a lot of positive feedback. Recently, I was told the woofers fail a lot. I've tried to search to see if this is accurate, but have not found any QC issues. I've not yet contacted Totem, but will likely do so. Does anyone here have any experience with the long term performance of these speakers? Also, if a dust cover is punctured on the woofer does that affect the sound production?
Thanks
