Totem Forest, Devore super8 or Spendor A6

Hi Johnnyr,
I was obviously laughing when I posted "face lift" because I saw a funny review of the Vandy's but seriously they were very impressive its just that I'm looking for a smaller speaker as I had mentioned previously its aesthetically important to my set up and space.
My local dealer is asking $3,700 for the Totem Forest, I need to make up my mind whether I should buy used or new because I'm going to need a center, surrounds and a jl audio f113 sub to start, I have a paradigm seismic110 which is awsome but with my new set up will have to change it.
Thanks alot Johnnyr I appreciated your ideas.
Roger

Wow
For that kind of doe you could have a Pair of Vandersteen Wood Quatto 2s with powered stereo Bass amps included, 22 point room compensation Phase and time aligned performance Made in USA with trick drivers and great looking to boot.

Make sure you here all of what you are talking about
together can you imaging having to do this all over again?
Cheers Johnnyr

And that is not just dealer ship bias coming through? No offense but I think
there really should be a disclosure statement somewhere.

All depends what you want. John is right you could pop the quartos in have the nice cabinet and just run the subs of the quartos which will be good enough. It would be a killer music set up for a good value and very nutural, if you like that sound. Although the jl sub (I own 2 113) would be better for movies a little more boomy. If you are trying to get the sub to take up the low end for music also look at the 112 it is faster and mates with many speakers better. All depends if you are more serious about movies or music and what you want your monitary investment to be.

I had the 2ce I do agree they make nice scratching posts for my cat, kidden. But the money is in the speakers and when you listen they do perform well for the price. YMMY. Nice cabinets are not in the budget there.
