I am doing some work for a client and they have a pair of speakers I would really like to hear and own. See photo below.

Look closely.
I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    I thought about it. But if I get a pair I want the cherry or mahogany finish.

    Totem speakers have very clean sound. Another fine Canadian speaker manufacturer. The only problem is that you need a high-current amp to drive them, so I gave up on my pair. My Rotel and Carver amps didn't like them - sounded very dull, but when hooked up a lowly NAD - those speakers were awesome.

    actually I believe the Mites are actually 8ohm speakers per the website, so a separate amp while nice might not necessary with them.
    Main 2ch -
    BlueSound Node->Ethereal optical cable->Peachtree Audio Nova 150->GoldenEar Triton 2+
    TT - Pro-ject Classic SB with Sumiko Bluepoint.

    TV 3.1 system -
    Denon 3500 -> Dynaudio Excite 32/22
