| I know, ...they also use MB quart, seas. and peerless. as well as focal. and Scan,.... But the thing with Totem is , most , if not all, of their drivers are custom made to Totem specs by these manufactures.
For Totem its all about listening, not about freq. curves
The point I was trying to make is how they match drivers and designs to make the best sound. If Vince Bruzzie ( the Totem guy) sat in a car, tuned a system,, and then released it,, no matter what the drivers,, I'd buy it | |

| Interesting point, but I guess I rather buy a home speaker that has and design first and the parts engineered for it by the same manufactor, rather than choosing drivers and "making them fit" a design. | |

| Energy, Totem, Paradigm, whatever, a quick A/B test between them and B&W its not a hard decision  | |

| I have to agree the Energy do sound pretty good...... i was at Futureshop the other day and i listened to them. and compared to the Infinty, MTX, etc. it seems faily balanced sounding and has good clarity overall.
if i could compare them to the Focal Access or some Hertz would definitely would give me a even better idea... | |
