Totem-The One/ Harbeth 7es-3


Has anyone compared these two speakers? What are their sonic similarities and differences? Other considerations are room placement, power requirements, component matching. Current room size 18x12x8 (speakers on the 12' wall). May be moving to house with 18x10x8 (speakers on the 18' wall) in the future.

I can't describe it more aptly than Nolitan and Chashas1. Very good account on both speakers. Just an add-on, the C7ES-3 will be a perfect match in the 18'x12'x8' room and will have little problems fitting in the smaller 18'x10'x8' room. I have the SHL5s in a 17'x11'x8' room and experience no problems whatsoever. I have not listened to The Ones but have had the privelege to listen to the Model 1's in my system side by side with the SHL5s. The Model 1s sound a little tiny and do not possess the scale of the SHL5s in my room.

Both The Ones and C7ES-3 are great speakers. Pick the one that suits your listening taste and musical preferences.
