  The One (Limited Edition)
  Totem Acoustic > Speaker (Stand Mount)

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.

About Totem Acoustic

Totem Acoustic was founded in 1987 by Vincent Bruzzese in Montreal, Canada. The new company's original mission was to develop a totally new transducer, a loudspeaker capable of reproducing a truly musical and involving performance. The goal was to provide something not currently available on the market--an affordable "soul mover" for the music lover.

The "Totem Acoustic" name was chosen as an ongoing symbolic representation of this mission and vision. The Totem represents, to the native North American people, an entity which chooses an individual and then guides that person during his or her life. Totem Acoustic is a bridge to higher musical awareness.
