Totem Model 1


I can buy a pair local, for $600. I think they are 17 years old. Should I pull the trigger and buy them?

I'm thinking about pairing them with a w4s Mint...

Great feed gentlemen. I have to say however that my home is very clean and dust free. Especially the Totems. I put them on a salvaged Solid Koa wood side table. Though it shows some wear it does create a nice solid surface when I can't set on the Totem stands I normally have them placed on. My music room had to be refurnished for my sickly daughter and I do what I can here. The only reason I have even considered getting rid of these amazing speakers was because of the current expense of health care. I have to say however, after calling Vince Bruzzese of Totem , whom I met here in Colorado at the Rocky Mountain Audiofest, which I recommend you guys go to if you've never attended by the way, I'm keeping them. His feedback was that the dent in the tweeter regardless of the size, won't be an issue with the integrity of his speakers and that unless it is purely an aesthetic issue, He still recommends not repairing them because they have been broken in over the years and may lose some of their acoustic appeal.
Great speakers at amazing prices come and go. I'm sorry you missed out on this one B. I have made the decision to keep them regardless of my situation, because they truly make me happy in so many ways that are worth much more than the mere $600. Enjoy life fellas, Press play to go!
