Forests are a terrific speaker, I ran them with 200w of solid state very happily. I upgraded to Kharma and was surprised how much more the Kharma's had to offer, quite a bit more expensive and a good deal more speaker. S/h mine would likely be in reach, 3.2s are said to be good but don't offer the bass depth 2.3s are capable of. I had a friends Lavardin IS in my system and it did a great job, didn't offer up anything like what my amps can but drove them easily enough and I'd guess an IT might work very well indeed.
What to upgrade from Totem Forrest?
Dear all,
It's been almost 9 years and I am tempted to upgrade my speaker. It's Totem Forest while it's a good speaker but I think it's a bit warm for my system which consists of: Sony XA-9000ES, TW Acustic 0.5 with Lyra Delos, and Lavardin amp.
My room is relatively small i.e. 4.5 X 5 meter.
Any advice on what to upgrade? budget is expected below 10k, I am looking for a natural and transparent but I don't expect to get electrostat though.
Thanks in advance for the advice
