Totem Rainmaker OR Epos M5???


I really need some help here. I intend to purchase a set of small speakers but there is no opportunity to listen beforehand. Please give me your opinions about which of these fine speakers I should purchase. My preference is for a very lively speaker in the upper reaches - i.e. I can actually hear the brush on a cymbal. (Okay I'm not a musician so I may not have the words right). In addition to those speakers listed, I have read good reviews on Spendor LS 3/5se, so those are probably in contention also. Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

I've heard both speakers and can tell you that the totem's will sound more lively and lifelike with more detailed yet smooth highs. The epos m5's are great if you like a smoother
and more laid back sound that you can listen to all day but they don't sound as detailed and alive.
