Totem maakt bijzondere speakers. Voor het format veel laag! Dynamiek! Incl originele target stands als nieuw! Vraagprijs 750 eur
Is €750 a fair price for a used Totem Model One Biwire, or are you paying too much? Compared to the ground truth of recent comparable listings—where the median sits at €329, the 75th percentile at €379, and the 25th at €157—this €750 asking price is sharply ambitious, sitting well above the top quartile and more than double the median. Unless this pair is in pristine, original-owner condition with rare accessories or has been significantly upgraded, the price overshoots the typical used market for this model.
That doesn’t mean the Totem Model One isn’t worth owning; it’s a revered small speaker known for clean bass down to 50Hz and remarkable clarity without doubling at lower frequencies, earning praise as a “giant amongst small speakers.” If the listing is truly exceptional—say, untouched biwire configuration, original boxes, and verified no wear—it could justify the premium, but at €750, you’re paying for certainty and rarity, not just performance. For most buyers, waiting for a listing near €330–€380 would be the smarter move.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Totem Acoustics is a Canadian loudspeaker maker founded in 1987 in Montreal, Quebec by Vince Bruzzese. The company’s identity has been built around handcrafted speakers and a distinctly musical, small-scale engineering philosophy rather than broad consumer-electronics diversification.
Totem is best known for loudspeakers across a wide range of formats, including compact standmounts, floorstanders, center channels, subwoofers, and custom-install models. Its catalog is centered on speakers rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, which are not core Totem categories.
In the market, Totem sits in the niche high-end / audiophile space: not a mass-market brand, but a serious specialty manufacturer with long-standing credibility among music-focused buyers. Its reputation is for emotionally engaging sound, compact cabinet design, and a handcrafted Canadian boutique character that appeals to enthusiasts looking above mainstream hi-fi and below ultra-luxury statement brands.
