Totem maakt bijzondere speakers in verschillende uitvoeringen. Dit is de versie met seas tweeter en dynaudio woofer. En de optie voor bi-wire volgens stereophile geeft deze speaker meer laag dan de 80
Totem’s Model 1 is a respected standmount: lively, coherent, and bigger-sounding than its size suggests. At €700, this sits above the €352 median and well into the upper half of the market, but still below the €801 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-ambitious ask rather than a steal.
That makes the buy case less about price and more about condition and completeness. If the drivers are original, the cabinets are clean, and the biwire hardware is intact, it can be a very satisfying listen with strong imaging and good musical pace. Because these are older speakers, a quick check of surround condition, tweeter output, and any cabinet damage is worthwhile before committing.
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.
