I agree, while Totem adds a little snake oil into their products (Totem beaks, break-in etc) the ones I have listened to are very nice and the build quality is top notch. You pay quite a bit of a premium on the build quality as well as dealer mark-up. The Axiom philosophy (multiple drivers) especially in that of the M80's is totally different compared to the Totem models. Application wise the M80 is more geared than the Totems for large/grand rooms, with huge power handling capabilities and dynamics.
