Totem The One stereo speakers

20 years of deep-rooted devotion The goal has always been to capture the "moment". That once in a lifetime performance with its real meaning and message fully delivered. To express the multi-dimensional layers of true artistry and the deeper hidden language that music portrays. No extraordinary speaker can come close to delivering the message in an unabridged way. We believe The One does. The One has great ability to capture midrange subtlety, dynamics and proper timbre without overloading. Stirring and accurate bass response along with pinpoint imaging allow The One to stay grounded at it\'s fullest. Midrange reproduction is clearer and more holographically stable, even under huge dynamic swings. Their exemplary harmonic extension will keep you enthralled. External changes allow bi-wiring via an extra set of exotic W.B.T. terminals. A medallion on the back identifies them as The One units. Internally, wiring metallurgy was further optimized and specifically designed for The One. The usual fabulous crossover work that is present in all Totem models is brought to an extreme art form in The One. No expense or development cost was spared in obtaining the most exotic and musically pleasing componentry. The ULTIMATE LISTENING EXPERIENCE that unleashes the Soul by transmitting information, meaning and subtleties that are beyond language and immediate sensory perceptions. Totem\'s Limited Edition The One is unique. Designed with deep-rooted knowledge of the acoustic realm, it was created as the symbol of Totem's 20 years of devotion. The speakers require several hours of actual music playing time as a minimal break-in period. During this time, refrain from playing them at very loud levels. You will notice a definite gradual improvement in the cohesiveness of the music reproduction as this occurs. It is only through the support of advocates such as yourself that true sound can be promoted... Toe-in: Due to the fact that all Totem speakers have great off-axis dispersion, toe-in is generally not needed. Imaging will therefore be more stable from any point in the room. If the speakers are placed very far apart (over 7 feet) then a slight toe-in may be experimented with. However if room geometry does not permit a straight-ahead aspect they will also perform very well with a slight toe-in.
