In terms of speaker quality - which is unrelated to these items - Totem makes one of the best sounding speakers I have ever heard, the Mani 2
The head of Totem - Vincent - is an interesting study in human behaviour. He designs and builds something as amazing as the Mani, then devises the Beaks. His other claim is that the inside of the speaker cabinet must be veneered the same as the outside, citing engineering principles.
But, if you can, listen to the Mani 2 with good quality amps and sources...you will hear an excellent musical reproduction - just ignore everything else!! LOL
