Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better?

I do not find that either Sttaf or Arro need a huge current amp. In fact, the Sttaf is an 8 ohm speaker designed to be easy to drive. I would not use a mass market receiver, but integrateds from the likes of NAIM and Creek drive them very well. I had a chance to spend some time with Vince this week and he re-iterated that the Sttafs were designed to be easy to drive. Quality components definitely matter, I just would not caught up in huge power for these speakers. Hawks do like more power.

In a different vein, Totem recently introduced the $500 Kin Mini which can be paired with the Kin sub ($700). The Kin Mini was designed using ideas from the Torrent drivers used in the new Metal series. It really is a remarkable little speaker. It is a nice alternative for those you want something small. The combo covers 29 Hz to 40,000 Hz.

Akg, thank you so much for your positive feed backs. Really appreciated it and will do auditioning myself!

Just an interesting observation upon visiting Totem's website- the renowned Model 1 Signature appears to be no longer in production. I have had these amazing speakers twice in my system over the years. Truly a classic in my opinion.

Having owned both, I preferred the Arros precision and imaging. The Sttaf is less articulate but bigger on the low end. In a perfect world I would pair the Arros with a fast sub, but they are still nice as stand-alone speakers.
