Picture from Totem Website - I can take photographs of actual speakers, please ask.


In absolutely lovely condition, in Cherry.

I bought these from Andrew Oliver at Audio Republic in May 2006 as a demonstrator pair originally in Maple having been used approximately half a dozen times.
In May 2010 the speakers were returned to the European distributor Joenit to be re-housed in these stunning cherry cabinets, which have serious WAF.

The speakers feature the Totem Claw & Ball System and are Bi-Wireable.

I still have Original Packaging (double boxed) although the outer boxes are a little tatty.

Full details of the speakers and specifications are available on the Totem Website.

I would prefer collection from Manchester area.

These currently retail a few pounds under 3K (the Cherry finish is a couple of hundred pounds extra over the other available finishes),
Tom Tom Audio currently have a pair for sale in mahogany at £1995.

Offered for sale at £1495

What the frig, your new speakers must be good if your selling your totems. I have heard these speakers and they are fab, but we have just got new speakers.

Hi Nat, I believe my new speakers have quite a rep around hear
although they don't have the extreme WAF of these Totems!

You spotted the 'in joke' yet?

[Natalie NWA]

Yes PMSL :lol:

Indeed, maybe I should play some Depeche Mode on them?

Sorry for joining this debate late.

One of my favourite speakers currently is Totem Arros. Had a home demo a while back and sound terrific with my Leema Pulse.

I would purchase without hesitation but their dinky dimensions make'em so easy to knock over. We have a young daughter and the thought of a £1500 speaker being toppled by a marauding youngster brings me out in a rash. :rolleyes:

[Gerard124]

Simples, just install one of these in your listening room and keep marauding youngster in it until she is about 21, you can't be to careful with teenagers either :lol:

She is 21. :lol:

[Gerard124]

In that case you'll be ok with a set of Hawks!

Totem certainly make good looking speakers. Although I think around £2,500 on a speaker with my amp, although very good, maybe a little overkill.

Have been looking at standmounted speakers such as Kef 'R' range, ProAc Response D2, second hand pair of PMC TB2i.

Perhaps Totem Signature Model 1s might fit the bill nicely.
