    One of the very best sounding and looking speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

    If you have not listened to the entire Totem line well you are in for a treat. Every single speaker they make is impressive.

    Thanks Dan,

    I keep looking at other speakers and I keep going back to these.. I wish there was someplace around here to see them and hear them.

    There is a set on audiogon for $5800

    Thats a great price. If you can afford them , get them , you can turn them fast if you don't like them for some strange unmusical reason.

    You do however need really good gear to go with them , what would you be powering them with? What's the rest of the system like? Do you have a good room to support such a high end speaker?

    Ask yourself these questions before spending the money , even at that price , it's still a lot for a pair of speakers if there isn't support for them.

    Well my plan is to go with a full BAT system, pre and amp. I will have to do this in steps of course.

    But right now I have a full Adcom set up GFP-750 , GFA-5802 , GCD-750 and a Dodd ELP looped with the 750 pre, Jolida phono pre and my Technics 1210 TT. And of course my SDA1.2tl's

    I could pull it off if I do it in steps but would it all be worth it?? I have my eyes on a ClearAudio TT as well for $2800 but like I said Steps. I think I could have it together in 6-8 months.

    Plus I would sell my other gear as well..
