Totem model 1 with svs sb13 ultra or Forest

Hi,

This is my first post on audiogon. I currently own a pair of totem model 1's (original not sig). I really like them but would like some more bass. I'm considering a couple of options. I'm thinking I could buy an SVS sb13 ultra (cost 1600) or I'm thinking I could sell the model 1's and get a used pair of totem forests (net cost after selling model 1's 1000). If I do this, I would really like to avoid buying a different amp. I currently have a Parasound 2250 which has more than enough current to drive the model 1's.

I live in a medium sized apartment but eventually (three years from now) will move to a larger place. My setup is in my living room which is 14 ft long and 12 ft wide. I listen to everything from country and indie to electronica and hip hop.

Thanks,
Zach

I've had both the ARROs and Forests in my prior systems.
There is a plethora of posts on A-GON, CanuckaudioMart, Pinkfish audio and elsewher,e about TOTEMs (particularly the Forests) requiring a lot os grunt to perform at their best.

My take:

(1) With your kit you should be OK.

(2) With the Forests, you will definitely not need a sub.
