Totem Acoustic Totem Tribe Towers Floorstanding Loudspeakers Selling a like new pair of highly acclaimed Totem Tribe Tower speakers. Purchased new in 2021 they were originally purchased for a smaller 2nd listening room I had in Melbourne. Since moving to Brisbane they have been sitting safely in storage unused for the past two years. Very dynamic sounding speaker for their size with tight articulate bass, beautiful tone in the midrange and just the right amount of detail retrieval in the highs. A very well crafted piece of hifi with loads of glowing reviews online and on youtube. Build is
Fair ask: A$3,200 is reasonable for a like_new pair, but not a steal. New Tribe Towers sit around A$6,500–A$7,000, and used examples of the Tribe line land well below that, so this price is roughly in the “clean, premium used” zone rather than bargain territory.
The appeal here is the usual Totem formula: a slim floorstander with serious imaging, fast transients, and enough scale to sound grown-up without looking like a boxy tower. The Tribe Tower is a 4-ohm design with 89 dB sensitivity and a 30 Hz–30 kHz spec, so it rewards a solid amp and careful placement; if this listing includes original packaging and the cosmetics truly are near-mint, that adds real value for a buyer who wants a tidy, high-end room-friendly speaker.

Totem Acoustic, a Montreal-based Canadian hi-fi brand, was founded in 1987 by Vince Bruzzese, an Italian-born designer who established its roots in Quebec's vibrant audio scene. From its inception, the company has championed handcrafted loudspeakers, beginning with the unnamed original prototype and the iconic Model One in 1989. Over nearly four decades, Totem has remained committed to proprietary scientific formulas, prioritizing spatial accuracy, musical dynamics, and emotional engagement true to the artist's intent.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, producing compact standmounts, minimonitors like the Skylight, and flagship models such as the Signature One, which blends heritage elements with modern integration for custom installations. All products are designed and manufactured in Canada, eschewing outsourcing to maintain uncompromising quality and timeless aesthetics. Totem avoids diversification into amplifiers, DACs, turntables, headphones, or cables, honing a pure speaker-centric philosophy.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, Totem earns acclaim for affordable yet involving performances that deliver expansive sound fields without me-too conventions. Its made-in-Canada insistence and enduring principles appeal to discerning buyers seeking authentic, emotionally resonant hi-fi over mass-market hype.
