| totem model 1 owners rel recommends using your main speakers full range with no crossover in the low freqs. the only time i would want to crossover at the lowest freqs is if i was going to crank the volume. in normal listening sessions, you would run your model 1's fu... | |
| totem model 1 owners i had mine 4.5 ft from the back wall and 3.5ft from the side walls. very little toe-in with target 4 pillar stands filled with sand. i also used odyssey stratos monoblock amps. i also used a rel strata III sub. check out the cardas website to get ... | |
| In-wall speaker recommendations i use a pair or totem in-walls in my den. very nice! in 1 of the latest trade magazines, they reviewed some totem in-wall speakers and they also liked them. | |
| Totem's with mid-power amplification? i would try the hawks and possibly the forests. i would demo the speakers hooked up in your room using your equipment to see if you like them. i have had a pair of arros teamed up with amps as low as 30 watts (tube amp) in my den with good succes.... | |

| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. look at the totem mani 2's. a speaker doesn't have to be a certain size to produce the low octaves. my mani's go lower than 30hz with a 6.5" woofer, but there are 2 of them in an isobarik design. the revel salon and studio speakers are in the 20-2... | |

| Do you believe everything you read on the internet when people/reviewers state they have the best sounding system/component they ever heard. time to hit the delete or back key when encountering this type of thread especially when what they have or auditioning is so-so equipment in a so-so environm... | |
