Where do Totem speakers rank with other high end speakers?

I was taken back a little too. I liked the reviews though. Very well thought out.

Come on guys... For all the harassment we give RGA, I suspect he makes far more effort to audition new gear than any of us...

We never audition the stuff he recommends, yet he actually makes the effort to check out a lot of the stuff we talk about it...

Note: I still don't think that a show is good enough to judge whether you like a piece of equipment, but he at least auditions new gear...

Yes, absolutely. We must concede that he "goes out of his way" to audition gear. Kudos to RGA on that score.

Hey, I like RGA and his posts. You may have missed some of the pro/anti-panel debates that went on here a few years back. Guess who was on the anti side most of the time.

RGA you like the Classe amps paired with Maggies?

I remember RGA's extreme stance on panels and SS amps as well... But clearly he has come a long way... The last several months he has been raving about the Kingsound Electrostats and now has added the Maggie 1.7s... Even more interesting is that he now likes Rotel for cheap amplification, considering that Rotel makes very powerful SS amps - so essentially the opposite of the SET amplification he is fond of....

IMO, the more that persons really audition different gear, the less likely they will take a hard-line stance on any one technology... I suspect we could all find several examples of alternate tech that sounds great to us....
