Tawaundabomb,
Thanks for the kind words. This thread certainly went on longer than I'd expected, which is a tribute to the generosity and passion of all the respondents. Really, as I said earlier, I did get a complete education in contemporary speaker trends from this thread! It's been over 20 years since I've been involved in High End Audio, meaning that I'd never heard of brands like Totem because they didn't exist the last time that I was actively following the scene.
By the way, to give you an idea how active I'd been before, my greatest claim to high end glory was having a letter to the editor published in TAS and commented on by HP somewhere back in the 1980's. :-)
Anyway, thanks again to everybody for their sage advice.
