I know, ...they also use MB quart, seas. and peerless. as well as focal. and Scan,.... But the thing with Totem is , most , if not all, of their drivers are custom made to Totem specs by these manufactures.

For Totem its all about listening, not about freq. curves

The point I was trying to make is how they match drivers and designs to make the best sound. If Vince Bruzzie ( the Totem guy) sat in a car, tuned a system,, and then released it,, no matter what the drivers,, I'd buy it

Interesting point, but I guess I rather buy a home speaker that has and design first and the parts engineered for it by the same manufactor, rather than choosing drivers and "making them fit" a design.

They did actually back in the early 80s.

I have to agree the Energy do sound pretty good...... i was at Futureshop the other day and i listened to them. and compared to the Infinty, MTX, etc. it seems faily balanced sounding and has good clarity overall.

if i could compare them to the Focal Access or some Hertz would definitely would give me a even better idea...
